The purpose of containers is that computers are now large enough that one computer can do the job of many previously smaller computers.

One your workload exceeds that of a normal run of the mill server containers are no longer a good idea. So basically once you start needing to do that which is mostly pointless now anyway with SSDs that would about the time when containers would also be ill suited to your workload.

Also, if you're running docker in prod, have fun :)
