Another take: DevBox provides 60% of the features of Docker while being faster and simpler. https://github.com/jetpack-io/devbox
It provides filesystem isolation -- it uses Nix under the covers. This is great if you're a dev and don't want to mess with routing ports across a hidden VM to the host, just run a command and your service appears directly on the host.
DevBox allows very rapid development. And for production, it exports to Docker. You get the best of all worlds!
