I've been using Docker, I love it. Hope to weigh the pros and cons of Swarm and Kubernetes and try those out too, but for most of my applications networked Docker containers are sufficient.

#52We use Deis (https://deis.com/workflow/), which is a sort of Heroku on top of Kubernetes. For CI, we use CircleCI and automatically deploy when tests pass on the master branch.

#53I recently(past 6 months) joined a new startup as the operations person, and we standardized on kubernetes for deployment. In the past I've worked with puppet/chef/ansible/heroku/aws/appengine/vmware you name it, and Kubernetes is the nicest and most flexible platform to build on top.

Have you had a proper look at Gitlab CI? It know, it's hard to make that sound credible with all that's going on with Gitlab right now but I found their CI to be the best around and you can even use your own machines to run stuff on.
To be fair, GitLab's current issues are purely operational on the GitLab.com side: their backup strategy and testing needs some work, but the product is really solid and most of the features are already there in GitLab CE.
For me, getting GitLab up and running on kubernetes was a breeze (using the popular docker image [1]) and my `pg_dump; duplicity;` backups are chugging right along. I haven't played with their CI yet, but I'm pretty excited to see how much it can do for me automatically managing my cluster.

#54We currently use docker for all our services in AWS and we deploy them with ansible scripts. Services with a single container are fairly straightforward, but for services with multiple containers running, we use the DR CoN patter which works fairly well. Our ansible scripts handle everything from deploying the container, to deploying registrator, to updating the nginx templates, so it's fairly automated.
For CI, we use our own product (Runnable [0]), which allows us to test our branches with their own full-stack environments, which is great for solid integration tests. We often use it for e2e too. We're planning on adding more CD features in the near future though.

#55I have been using Convox to deploy our Docker containers. It has been great for the past year and is improving daily.

Have you looked at buildkite (http://buildkite.com)? It's a very different approach to CI - you use your own machines. That means you have access to your own s3 buckets, you can talk to your other services and get to use all the CPU and ram your machine has.
We switched over from Circle and it's been awesome to scale our build process without fear of resource constraints. It's pretty great :). They even have a CF setup that will auto scale boxes based on CI load.

#57For Kubernetes, checkout https://www.distelli.com
Its a SaaS (and enterprise) platform for automated pipelines and deployments to Kubernetes clusters anywhere.

#58I use dokku for deployment and on-premise gitlab for CI.
Dokku's main advantage is that it's a no-brainer : if you're used to deploying heroku apps, it's very similar. It also automates the creation of data containers for database services, for example. On top of that, while I can use heroku's buildpacks for small sideprojects, I can also take full control of the build using a Dockerfile (which is what I do for bigger projects). The main inconvenient is that it can't manage multi host container deployments, like docker-swarm or kubernetes (I don't need it, so no need to compromise on simplicity).
Gitlab's pipeline both offer CI and CD, with a lot of cool features around it, like being able to tell on a commit page when it has been deployed on production, for no configuration cost.
Regarding costs : well, it's the cost of a dedicated server.

#59At the company I work at we use Docker with Kubernetes. The deployment process involves Ansible and Jenkins CI. I, personally, prefer the bare-metal deploys of automated scripts. I usually just spin up a VM and write a bash script to "prep" it the way I want. After that, I just run "./deploy" and it pushes where I want. I like this because I feel like I have more control and it actually feels easier. Plus, I've run i…

You're mixing terms here. A VM is not bare-metal.
