The only argument I have heard for Docker that makes any sense to me lately is that when your developers are using macOS and your servers run Linux, it’s nice to have dev/prod parity. Practically I think this speaks to either using better development environments, or writing code that is much more portable than what people try to get away with.


Eh I use docker as essentially disk images

Get something running in any environment really quickly because it is already a separate environment

Nobody has to deal with package managers messing up their system, or have to deal with package manager managers that lets them switch between different versions of a package manager just so they can run some obscure dependency before getting to the project


You just deal with all the library and dependency stuff inside the Docker container instead :)
