Not everyone's startup can necessarily afford purchasing lots of machines for each independent service, and they use docker to get around that cost barrier.

But persistent data is so important that if your startup is so underfunded that you can’t setup a proper reliable data base, isn’t that a bigger issue? Why add the complication of Docker for production databases and why take the risk?

Well, I don't think named docker volumes are the way to go. They should map to disk and back up the native file system.

And/or automate a pgdump-type setup
