What are the down side of using docker?
I was wondering the down side of using docker, I've never heard theo opinion on docker.
I would love to hear y'all opinions on it. I am brand new to docker.

its heavy running locally
if you don't run on a unix machine, even the m1/m2 chips
you get performance related
configuration can be annoying
depending on the usage, its a slow process
@nyx (Rustular DevRel) Would you consider this a bad usage of docker, example:
I use docker locally to setup my dbs, etc.
When I go to upload in prod, I use a db on railway and redis from railway. I do not containerize my stuff anymore since I just use docker to configure locally since it is easier to get the db service running than installing it.
Should I just upload my docker image directly at this point or?
its fine to deploy without docker
railway oer example, will wrap the code around a docker image anyway
deploying with docker is not necessary, its just a nice thing to be able to deploy in most providers
Ok, thank you!
