AFAIK (last I looked into this was ~6ish months ago), scaling databases in docker containers is a hard problem that currently doesn't have a clean solution. Vitess[0] is a solution, but it didn't seem quite ready for production last I looked at it.

From the Vitess overview page: "Vitess has been serving all YouTube database traffic since 2011".

Given that, it seems production ready.
