Containers are an indicator of conceptual decay. Application developer code has now become infrastructure and is due to the juniority far away from any half-standardized protocols. In times with agile software development, architects lost track of the _overall_ system architecture. System daemons seem not to be enough anymore or too hard for junior application developer people to base some services on. Also it is hard to write a daemon in J2EE Java or nodejs... Since application programmers started developing (system) infrastructure you now need to put their dependency hell into some manageable "containers" to keep your base server infrastructure somehow manageable. But the introduction of containers will not lead to a better architecture, it is just the opener for uncaring developers to do system programming in nodejs etc. Remember what the introduction of all programming paradigms into C++ led to. -Anselm
