Title: So, I am working on a side project and the way I deploy my (golang) application is basically:<p>- build binary<p>- copy binary, config files and static assets to the production server<p>- do blue green deployment (with nginx) to get zero-downtime deployment<p>- profit<p>(This is automated of course! I use Ansible, and I can easily rollback if needed. I can also deploy the same app to multiple machines if needed).<p>On my local machine I use Docker to test the Go code, but I don&#x27;t really see the benefit of deploying my Go app in a container. My colleage told me &quot;it&#x27;s easier to deploy Docker containers. You just pull the image and voila!&quot;. I don&#x27;t see how my approach could be &quot;more complicated&quot;. Also, isn&#x27;t my approach better in terms of performance? If my golang app runs &quot;bare metal&quot; instead of via a container, then sure the performance should be better, right?
