This video is overview of some of the advantages and disadvantages of containers like Docker and Podman in Software Development. 

My initial hypothesis was that statically linked executables  just as portable as containers and therefore render them useless. But upon doing more research I kept finding more valid reasons to use containers.

My thoughts were a bit two-sided in the end, it's definitely not a one size fits all solution. I hope the discussion points still come across clearly

Okay, but do you REALLY need containers?
