I disagree with you. I've used it in production for almost a decade now. There have been issues sure, but name me a single production-level technology that hasn't had problems?
- Microsoft Windows: Various versions of Windows have had critical security vulnerabilities over the years, leading to widespread malware outbreaks like WannaCry and NotPetya.
- OpenSSL: In 2014, the Heartbleed bug was discovered in OpenSSL, which left millions of websites vulnerable to attacks that could steal sensitive data.
- Apache Struts: In 2017, the Equifax data breach was caused by a vulnerability in Apache Struts, a popular open-source framework for building web applications.
- Boeing 737 Max: In 2018 and 2019, two deadly crashes were caused by a software flaw in the flight control system of the Boeing 737 Max airplane.
- Google Cloud: In 2020, a widespread outage of Google Cloud services caused disruptions for many businesses and organisations that rely on the platform for their operations.
Many things have had individual bad incidents. Docker has had many, and they've been of incredibly naive kind. To compare Docker to the kind of careful engineering done in e.g. airplanes is just silly. The commits to Docker ("Moby") have historically been underwhelming. Docker is to containers as what MongoDB was to NoSQL.
