For teams where there are people on charge of: - installing Docker on the servers - keeping Docker up-to-date - keeping an private image registry (or renting one) - scanning regularly Docker images for vulnerabilities then Docker is fine. But if you are a solo developer, Docker is probably overkill. I mean, working with Docker doesn't just mean "write your Dockerfile". It means all the bullet points I wrote above. Writing the Dockerfile is the easy part. If I rent a machine on Digitalocean for $5/month, then I have put on the "infra engineer" hat and install Docker on that machine, keep it up-to-date, I also need a way to keep my Docker images and scan them...
