My role is data scientist for a venture backed marketing startup, but I also wrote/designed all the tech used for ETL and reporting. I use docker in production to sandbox models that are called by the client via a web app. I admin a private registry that is used by other groups at the company.
All of this was free. Setting up a private registry takes about thirty minutes. Orchestration via ansible is also free.
I'm "calling top" in the most cheeky way possible, so be need to get your back up. I love docker and use it heavily. It is a brilliant product, but the brilliance to me is also in the fact that you really don't need much else beyond the basics. And I realize that they are moving incredibly fast and there is potential to see something that will blow my mind and cause me to open my wallet.
If you're an enterprise user coming from Microsoft world, maybe paying for docker services makes sense. I prefer to just take an hour and do it myself for the cost of infrastructure.
