> Why should I spend money on not using Docker in 2019?

You should use what works for you - ultimately you know your context and circumstances better and you can make the decisions that affect you/your team better than any of us.

HN is not an indicator of industry trends, but more of a set of interesting articles and viewpoints that come together, though you will often see authors and commenters pushing hard in certain directions.

In this instance, have a look at the author's part 1 under 'Reasons to switch', see if any of the reasons given work for you.

Thanks for sharing that, it provides a lot more context. I don’t run a lot of containers, but the few I do I’ve naively run on an EC2 VM and ran into many issues with the docker daemon. I’ve since embraced Fargate and haven’t looked back. This takes me back to those hours spent troubleshooting (PSA: don’t use snap to install docker if you want to have a good time) and see the appeal in a daemonless container, and the root access definitely is a concern as well.
