Until it goes "Boom". In production. With real $$ on the line. And that's where the CTO/VP of Eng recognizes that his developers don't actually understand how their system works and hence can't bring stuff back up in minutes or even hours .
- zemo 8y agoyou're conflating the success of the technology with the success of its users. If the measure of success for a technology is that a lot of people are using it and working on it, then Docker is tremendously successful. If the measure of success is that the company building it is profitable, I have no idea. If the measure of success is that the founders can raise a lot of money and then take some off the table ... gonna bet successful here; they've raised $248m. Whether or not it's a good way to run applications is entirely irrelevant based on those definitions of success for the technology.
