+## Containerization setup
+We use Docker for containerization. Since we are building a Streamlit application, we can expect to be developing solely in Python. The Docker base image we are building our container from is `python:3.10-slim`.
+
+[Reference for deploying Streamlit application in Docker](https://docs.streamlit.io/knowledge-base/tutorials/deploy/docker)
+
+We then use VS Code Dev Containers to allow us to create a Docker image from the Dockerfile and develop inside of a Docker container. 
+
+[Reference for setting up VS Code Dev Containers](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/devcontainers/create-dev-container#_dockerfile)
+
+Our container configuration will be set up as such:
+```
+└── patent_lang_model
+    └── .devcontainer
+        ├── devcontainer.json
+        └── Dockerfile
+```
