Yes. Go static binaries are super useful and simple to deploy. IMPO, this is one of the reasons Go has become so popular.
Docker became popular because it fixed a lot of deployment issues for dynamic scripting languages. And really, Go static binaries and/or Java jars solve that same problem. So there is no need to complicate these deployments with Docker.
I do dockerize some Go binaries to run in ECS/Fargate, but otherwise I see no real need or reason to do so.
- darksaints 5y agoWhile Java deployment has definitely become a lot easier in the past decade, I'd contend that java jars dont really solve the same problem. Uberjars get close, but you still have to either deploy the JVM yourself or ensure that your target environment is appropriately provisioned.
