Started using Alpine as a curiosity for embedded/high security development a while ago, probably 2011-2012. I've of course used it a fair bit in $day_job containerization of services. Nowadays personally I find myself using it for the bare metal OS on servers running minimal services: things like VM hosts, purpose-built fileservers, etc. It's a fine distro, you can typically go a good bit of time between updates without worrying about fragging your install, which is especially important to me on personal projects, which are often more like pets than livestock :P
