Docker is indeed fast and lightweight. It's amazing how much CPU power is freed up from not running a full on VM in VirtualBox. That said, I'm wary of running it in production

In my experience, the performance gains are much less significant v. a virtual machine running on a proper bare-metal hypervisor (like Xen).
Why? Security?
Yep. I don't understand the security implications well enough to guard against them. As much as I like cutting edge tech I prefer to not actually cut myself with it!
PM if you want to talk more.
