I'm really not the biggest fan of docker, but it seems like everything y'all did was wrong: improper image caching, so you wouldn't have to continually build the same base images for your services; putting databases in the container, instead of somewhere else; not using cgroups/docker fundamentals to restrict space on the container level; storing state (something) on disk within a container.

The engineer in question was very excited about the technology, so we went with it. In the end it was a great learning on many levels, and I can really appreciate the kind of problems that AWS solves for you.
