Haven't deployed production Java in years, so I won't speak to it. However, even with Go's static binaries, I'd like to leverage the same build and deploy process as other stacks. With Docker a Go service is no different than a Python service. With Docker, I use the same build tool, instrument health checks similarly, etc.

Standardization is major. Every major cloud has one (and often several) container orchestration services, so standardization naturally leads to portability. No lock-in. From my local to the cloud.
