The reality is, as far as I can see, there's just not much benefit in using Docker in a crappy (read: small) pool-of-app-servers-on-top-of-a-database webapp. I've had a lot of newer devs pushing to use Docker. I haven't had these newer devs give a solid reason why relatively low-volume, simple web apps need an additional layer of complexity over an easier-to-manage VM setup with automated provisioning.
