Extra scenarios: * Not all our libraries are available in the same ecosystem. We need to mix JVM with C++ with a sprinkle of Python [via jep]. * We run a lot of small variations over the same code base. We'd rather not wait to re-deploy 99% of a fat binary for each run.

Another good point is that Docker's layered filesystem allows for caching that greatly benefits the use case you're describing. We have an old .net app we pushed to servers via zip files, and the sheer size of the zip ended up being a burden after many deployments. Docker's caching and "docker prune" make things a lot easier.
