Question

Do Java DevOps need Docker?

Answer 1

For development purposes you do not need Docker but you do want a development playground that is easy and pliable for any technology to be investigated by a developer and a Docker or runc based mechanism to break up your environments for isolation and testing helps reduces the effort and time needed by a developer to try out new frameworks and tools be they Java-based or other technologies that are supported in containers. additionally, containers are useful to service enable greenfield and brownfield projects reducing their complexity when trying to make changes or modernizing a legacy based architecture. Being able to leverage someone’s else's effort for the config and maintenance of the base layers reduces the effort for a developer that he or she is typically responsible for is a good thing as well.
