> What people do with Docker is spin up a database or another service to develop or test against.

Yep. Being able to run

    docker run --rm --publish=127.0.0.1:27017:27017 'mongo:3.6.8'

    docker run --rm --publish=127.0.0.1:27017:27017 'mongo:5.0'

and then get rid of it with simple Ctrl-C is a godsend.

I remember installing Oracle in my desktop computer to be able to do my programming classes...

If the installation crashed (which was quite common, happened to me once) it was easier to just format the computer completely and start again. Effed up the database? Probably easier to format everything and install from scratch
