This story on Techcrunch, ‘I want to run stateful containers too‘ rang home with me as it reads very similar to my own learning experience playing with containers so far, although at this point I haven’t had the opportunity to take a container based system into production, but he covers a lot of the same questions as I have so far. I imagine this journey and shift in thinking from monolithic systems to container based services is a common experience for everyone starting down this path.
