I agree too. I kicked off an application server project for a business unit in a large company using Docker. Aside from the core image of my application server, I used docker-compose to orchestrate nginx and Redis instances to support it. That setup remains available to a small team of developers. From the first production release and to date, corp DevOps build the core app server image in their pipeline, and deploy it with a different load balancer and a compatible key value store. It worked in that configuration the first time, and there's never been an issue.

The flexibility and modularity is a big plus to me.
