For me, the answer for the given scenario was so straightforward and obviously "yes" that I wondered why a whole blog post was necessary?

This now has me wondering if I am a bit more drunk on the container koolaid than I may have thought!

Read the email thread that inspired me to write it and it will become obvious. In the original email, a user asked if they should split an application that was almost exactly what I describe in the blog post, into multiple containers because you "should" only run one process per container. That is a ridiculous reason. That provides zero business value in and of it's self.

The two main business values I have found from splitting something up is 1. independent scaling and 2. independent development teams. Other than that most is preference and philosophy. You can get to the right answer for the wrong reasons, it doesn't mean you were right.... :-(
