Docker's pretty great, I recommend at least trying to put a simple container around your app, if that'll get you onto v2. It's probably a lot easier than migrating your whole app off of their platform.
Also, look at it from their perspective. They support everything when they support Docker, no need to have specific tooling for Node.JS.
- sholladay 8y agoI have no use for Docker. It's literally just an extra layer that does nothing useful for me. npm starts the server and I'm good to go: npm start for production, npm run start-local to run with a local database. Keep It Simple, Stupid. I see so many people using Docker as their scripting file, even though it actually adds complexity. I have no problem with it existing for those who need it, but most apps absolutely do not benefit from it. In fact, I've occasionally had to write code to handle Docker containers in a special way... completely defeats the purpose of normalizing the environment.
- wishinghand 8y agoDocker was needless before v2 and then making us add it to just run ‘npm start’ is kind of dumb.
