Hi Jorge,

Thanks for chiming in :-)

I actually don't share the same thought about containers used only for dev. The growth of Docker and containers in general has been tremendous over the past 5 years and it is expected to further grow into 2020 in tens of percents.

Even if we were to think that containers are only used for development, you'd still be at a risk of using a malicious docker container from the registry, that would spin up on your development machine and who knows what it does. That's however a less-likely scenario, but points out the interest in keeping things secure, whether they are running locally or not.

I am curious - if not docker, how are you orchestrating and managing your services?
