Humans are compulsive comparers. We have a natural propensity to view things in our day-to-day lives by setting them against each other.

Light-weight container based infrastructure (e.g. Docker) along with resource and cluster management solutions such as Mesos are a natural fit for microservices applications. Assembling production-ready microservices applications requires a combination of infrastructure services, the application components themselves, and a range of application services.
