@ewolff it depends (as always). For 12 factor apps, you may be right. But not for clustered apps or non http protocols.

IMHO the momentum of Docker is larger than PaaS i.e. unlikely PaaS will win. Which I don't really understand BTW.

early J2EE, for all its faults, encouraged a separation between apps and environment. Docker reverses this.

No, it’s just a different kind of environment. 12factor app in a Docker container instead of Java EE .ear
