"Production" is a very broad set of environments, many of which containers are completely irrelevant for. For some developers, the answer to your question is "ClickOnce" because they're building a Windows Forms application that is critical to their business.

I think folks miss this point all too often. Docker is like an engine. Every vehicle needs an engine but there are a shit ton of engine options.

Ultimately the valuable bit is the vehicle or what you do with it, not the engine.

Folks get too focused on the deeply primitive tools and miss the larger picture.

I can pinky promise you that the majority of the larger picture that is up to date / building net new stuff uses Docker, which is why I was looking for alternatives that are popular (because I'm not aware of any and I don't think ClickOnce has any significant market share...)

Duct tape, mostly.
