I don't see much use for this project over, say, Compose, but I use dockerised services for development in my current day-job.

I'm an architect helping to move a a cluster of monoliths to a proper service-oriented setup; some of the teams work in PHP Symfony with MySQL, some work in Python 2.7 with Postgres, some in Python 3.4 with [insert hipster technology here]. We use Redis and Couchbase at various versions for different systems, Eventstore for messaging, and Elasticsearch.

That's a lot of moving parts to keep updated, but because we're deploying docker containers to production anyway, it's really simple to get up and running by just running `docker-compose up` from the root of a project.

tl;dr you're correct, unless you have to work in multiple systems that can version their infrastructure separately.
