It only takes you 20s to start up 50 containers? I doubt I could start 50 alpine containers in that time on my company issue 2015 MBP (Edit: A quick test reveals my personal desktop can in fact accomplish this, but it's much more powerful than my work MBP and has no virtualization overhead since it's running native docker instead of docker for mac).
I don't know about jeffasinger's company, but in optimal circumstances, a test instance of our app running against a in memory h2 DB takes 3 minutes to start. The app internally already performs heavy lifting in parallel, so it's also not clear that running multiple instances of the app will make it that much faster...

Singularity containers, my dev laptop is Linux, way less overhead than docker on mac. I'm simulating request load on a scheduler for compute jobs. In principle those jobs are not generally local, but it helps to stresstest the scheduler.
