Free plan looks like it could be handy for side project development, but then it gets fairly expensive fairly quickly.

So, this is where we are today – and my reference architecture is mongodb for the database server, node/express as the web/application server, AngularJS on the client side (along with Bootstrap for styling). I find that this architecture allows me to build web services really quickly that can have a client interface build fast using AngularJS, and then one can start development of mobile apps against the service using PhoneGap or native mobile development tools.

Once Facebook had proven that it was possible to be the one-stop-shop for your user’s every need, that became the model to emulate. Startups stopped seeing themselves as just one part of a bigger web. Now they wanted to be the only service that their users would ever need …just like Facebook.
I miss the old days.

Docker provides a streamlined user interface and API over the very cool lxc (Linux Containers) and aufs (advanced multi layered unification filesystem) to configure, spin up, down, set and replay light weight vm-like containers.
More for the Docker than the Java.
Using containers is a bit like trying to use git using only commands like update-index and read-tree, without familiar tools like add, commit and merge. Docker provides that layer of “porcelain” for LXC, turning containers into something that are much easier to think about, manipulate and distribute.
