Let me try something different … PaaS is underrated and a better set of abstractions for most developers to work with than Docker. Discuss.

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

I still think it's early days for PaaS...

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

Docker is supported by multiple platforms, weirdly making it the closest to a portable “standard” we have

A case of “worse is better” if there ever was one, by the way

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

An EAR file is on a higher level of abstraction because you don't care about most 12 factor app points.

like log aggregation … a PaaS will provide this, with Docker you’re probably on your own?
