You can use it for web apps/services (https://mesosphere.com/docs/getting-started/service-discover...). But I'm with you on databases. I guess I just like knowing that those hosts are being managed and cared for (pets vs. cattle).

With that said, I often wonder how many people are using Mesos/Marathon before they have any need for it? Using it on for 4 hosts vs. 40 or 400?

There's nothing wrong with Mesos on 4 hosts, though...

Anything more than a single host requires additional co-ordination - picking Mesos is mostly no different than rolling alternate methods for doing so.

It's not choice with the least overhead, but it's a possibility, for those for whom it has the right conveniences...
