The docker project evolved out of the PaaS movement, unlocking polyglot cloud-native applications. But it was only a piece of the puzzle to enable platforms, applications and a broader ecosystem. What lessons can be learned from the docker ecosystem?

HOW DID docker/DOCKER EVOLVE?
Between 2008 and 2013, dozens of PaaS platforms emerged. Within the platform, they all had a model for allocating compute resources, mostly through the use of Linux LXC and cGroups -- what would become containers. dotCloud was the PaaS company started by Solomon Hykes that eventually became Docker.
LESSONS LEARNED FOR THE FUTURE
- Containers were a fundamental building block for next-gen applications and platforms.
- Docker/docker created a massive community of users, but frustrated the ecosystem of partners.
- Project / Company naming conflicts are very hard to resolve (“docker” vs. “Docker”)
- Successful ecosystems allow a broad set of participants to monetize different elements of the technology. Not having a monetization model is not a good plan.
- Docker was the la
