I personally haven’t worked on a software team not using containers in around 8 years. One place was kind of an exception - containerization was on the road map, but not in use in production yet. They’re everywhere. I’ve deployed 3 containerized services in the last 6 weeks - 2 using Go and 1 using Node. They’re kind of the default these days, especially when deploying to AWS/GC.

I assume it must be similar to some degree for a lot of developers here.

Out of curiosity, what sort of reference were you expecting? (I promise I didn't vote on your comment and I'm just curious)

Some kind of white paper (even vendor supported) indicating that a majority, or even close to it, is using containers.

As far as I can tell, the state of the art for enterprises, which still make up the bulk of software development, is ASP.NET and J2EE, deployed to bare metal or VMWare VMs.

The hacker news bubble may be stronger than realised on this topic.

I see. Thank you.

Pretty much 100% of the Docker tutorials and references out there tell you to pull core images (ie "FROM ruby" or "FROM ubuntu").
