>Yea exactly and unless you are FB scale you can just run a single docker container and never really have to worry

This has not been the case at multiple employers and or consulting clients.

If you're providing software to an enterprise this almost will never fly. That single docker container will have an outage when basically anything happens. The container dies, systemd fails to restart, node dies, network switch dies, data center has basically any major issue, etc.

I think your comment brings value just probably biased with your own experience of running a consumer to consumer startup.



I think you're misinterpreting my comment. I meant specifically for most small time startups, not necessarily small time startups deploying enterprise apps. If you're deploying enterprise apps then by definition you're for all intents and purposes "fb scale."

A lot of SaaS promise infinite scalability—a need which often never comes to most small time startups.
