You will probably host 1 version which is infrastructure heavy and not very flexible. Take 10 developers working on the API. They all need to test their changes. Automatically if possible. Hosting external elements like the database and others is a pain eased by Docker.

Hmm, seems like the workflow you've described is a bottleneck leading to this. Wouldn't you have some kind of test/staging environment that is accessible for this purpose?
