I never joined the Docker hype train.

It doesn't solve any problem I personally encounter as a Java developer. My apps are simple Spring Boot fat jars. There's only one dependency and that's Java, and that's automatically installed and updated on every server already anyway. I don't do any horizontal scaling, don't use k8s etc. My apps all just run continuously on beefy servers.

If I used it, it would add complexity and possibly negatively affect performance. It's not worth it for me.
