Yeah the registry is a great example. I too am building everything into nice little Go binaries, and wonder why I'm using Docker to run these in production. It's really nice to have the common interface and tools both on dev and prod. If I didn't wrap these binaries in Docker I'd be wrapping them in upstart scripts, systemd config, chef scripts or .deb packages. All of these layers are a burden. Docker is simply more modern, easier, and has a great API, and tools for packaging, running and monitoring a program. Why not Docker for everything?
