saw done properly once, with good separation of services etc, but it still required a truckload of commitment to make it work, because one thing is interface changes when the code just don't work when you merge, another is figuring out the publish and restart order of each service when you have to add an operation so you don't have to knock out the whole system at every upgrade.

I don't really like that model applied to everything, but eh now you are kind of forced in a hybrid approach - say, your macro vertical plus whatever payment gateway service, intercom or equivalent customer interaction services, metrics services, retargeting services, there are a lot of heterogeneous pieces going into your average startup.

but back on topic, what Docker really needs now is a whack on the head of whoever thought swarms/overlays and a proper, sane way to handle discovery and fail-over - instead we got a key-value service deployment to handle, which cannot be in docker and highly available unless you like infinite recursion.
