[erlang-questions] Erlang and Docker

[Rad Gruchalski]

Nevertheless, it would be nice to read the article. Having been thinking about it, Erlang is the interesting unicorn case. Still, I’d like to read what the reasoning was.










Kind regards,

Maybe there's a case to be made for tooling which takes languages with terrible manageability and hides them behind something, but it's not at all clear that docker is the answer to that or any other question.  It makes a negative amount of sense to layer the highly ceremonial, unperformant, problem-multiplying docker abstraction on top of an actually light, already existing microservices architecture, and I wouldn't wish ownership of the resulting mutant chimera on my worst enemy.  But again -- my personal opinion.
