That's what you got from the article? I got the opposite. It works fine until you start to have large, complex images where build time becomes a factor and the fundamental design of Docker starts to get in the way (e.g. how it manages diffing of images, the lack of caching, and the inability to build different parts of the image in parallel). These shouldn't be as big of a deal at smaller scale.

That's not to say you're wrong; containers probably aren't that useful to most small shops. But that summary doesn't make any sense for this article.

A number of issues discussed in the article would be factors regardless of the scale: --logging, secrets, edgy kernel features, security
