Even in 2016, I had been running production services in Docker successfully. Its interesting to me that they see the problem "Docker isn't designed to store data" without also seeing the solution "the docker copy-on-write filesystem isn't designed to be written to production- but volume mounts are". I hadn't seen docker crashing hosts (still haven't) - but I'm guessing that was caused by using the storage drivers.

The complaints about their development practices are valid (and haven't really improved), but even then the technology worked well so long as you understood its limitations.
