I've used Docker in semi-production environments.

Configuration abd dependency management is much improved, and more efficient than VMs.

YAML configuration is easy to hand edit.

Docker doesn't have to rebuild an entire image for a minor application code or conf change. Incremental cache speeds up the build process.

Scaleout with "worker" instances is quite easy to manage.

For full production Elastic Beanstalk is worth a look. I prefer to host on DigitalOcean VMs for dev staging.

Docker has a great local community in San Francisco.
