So I really want to believe in docker. In general I think the idea of containers are awesome, and they can be awesome in a lot of ways. Have seen them do awesome things for some complex setups. I honestly do not see what you are getting here though other than just saying "I used docker". Let's compare this to a simple alternative that I used learning DJango: 1) Local - Dev server with virtualenv 2) Prod - Set of ansible scripts applied on top of a default AMI or image from a cloud provider. This adds nginx and gnuicorn and all the stuff you would expect. Runs the same virtualenv stuff used above. The dev experience seems better in my way, as dev server handles reloads easier. My prod experience should have some tiny perf boost (as it's just in a VPC container vs a container in a container). Deployments should be faster as it is just a git

pull and a gnuicorn bounce. What do I give up? An example of the prod ansible stack would be https://github.com/jcalazan/ansible-django-stack , but there are others (or you can write your own).
