Hyperledger fabric and docker

What is the need of docker in hyperledger fabric? Also why we need to run every process in different docker containers? Because It's putting extra overhead on the system.

Is there any alternative to docker in such scenario?

Up to this date, Docker daemon is required for Fabric to run chaincode, and there is plan to eliminate this hard dependency. As for Fabric components, i.e. peer/orderer, it's just a process and you can run it however you want. Docker just helps developer to set up environment with ease (one can just pull images and run).
