I'm curious as to why docker is chosen for build artifacts but not for running the app itself. Any info available here?

Generally speaking there is no way I'm installing a compiler on production servers, so having a builder is needed.

And rather than having a bunch of different machines for each stack, much cheaper and easier to have docker images.

Then you can deploy easily to any kind of production server: physical, VM, docker, cloud, etc.

So basically you're using an overcomplicated chroot as nothing more than chroot.
