A few years ago I worked at a big company that desperately needed something like this. Without it we more than did our part to make the internet less secure.
Without containers, software releases and infrastructure upgrades were highly interdependent. The result was that the software never released and the infrastructure never got upgraded.
Being able to upgrade individual services, independently of the infrastructure, is a bigger enabler than you would think in a large company. When you enable this, teams are suddenly able to release more often. Features ship faster and the lifetime of application vulnerabilities shortens.
Meanwhile, if Tectonic works as advertised, your infrastructure can auto-update but continue to provide a stable API to the services it supports. Again, the lifetime of vulnerabilities shortens, potentially by a lot.
