Even if you don't use Docker in production, I think it's still very useful tool for local development, combined with docker-compose.

When I'm working on one service, I often depend on a few other services too. I usually need a storage layer, perhaps API calls to related services, it may even to talk some Amazon services like S3 or SQS. Having a simple way to spin up every dependency locally, even AWS (lots of great AWS API compatible images out there) is really useful if only for local development.
