Right now I wouldn't say prime now's inventory integration is any better, but I'm sure it eventually will be. Both instacart and prime now seem to have trouble determining if an it…

Graphcool is awesome. I think you guys made the right choice moving to a code-first, open-source platform. Obviously you still need to make money. Besides hosting and automatic bac…

Have you ever actually used it? It does greatly improve developer ergonomics on the client side. Check out Apollo + React (or another framework).

In this case, a single mysql instance with individual databases may indeed be the best approach. It'd be very easy to launch a mysql container and have each wordpress container tal…

Yes that's a pretty good approach. Just organize the configs in a directory structure on your host and mount them as volumes (along with any other necessary volumes for e.g. upload…

It's not one or the other. Restarting might save you some downtime if you're running a single IRC container. That doesn't mean you shouldn't find and resolve the root issue. Normal…

Distributed storage is still a big issue for sure. There are some options, but none are ideal. One option is to map to host and use NFS to share across hosts. Another option is to …

> wait. aren't these things supposed to give us less pieces to arrange and manage? No, not fewer pieces. You'll have more pieces, but you can combine the pieces and control them in…

You're right, it's not quite that easy yet, but it probably will be eventually. Docker just provides the building blocks. SaaS providers like Docker Cloud will get better and conti…

I don't think that's the whole point. If all you care about is packaging your code in a container, then you don't need Docker. That was solved long ago. Docker simply adds a nice A…

Docker gives you the building blocks, but that means you have more pieces to arrange and manage. Take a look at Docker Compose if you haven't already, since the Docker CLI only get…

It's up to you to make your containers bloated or keep them slim. You can use the alpine versions of the official Dockerhub images. Python on Alpine is 30 MB (vs 267 MB for the deb…
