IMHO we are in a phase of enthusiasm, but we can already anticipate the peak and the trough of disillusionment will come.

In 10 years, the pendulum will ice swung a bit back and forth and we‘ll know better what works well. I bet it’s some form of lambda architecture.

Let me say that I am not pro or against docker per se. I just happen to have started my career with a strong team pre-docker and a lot of the docker-enthusiasm isn’t all that much addressing what was lacking in the operations space pre-docker.

In 2000, I had HP-UX Virtual Vault (aka containers) and CGIs (aka lambda functions).

Everything old is new again.
