step 6 questions

[Strombilly]

1. Why would a containerized version of an application be beneficial if you can run the application locally already?

Two big reasons are to avoid cross environment bugs and that the test runs are separated from the development areas.

2. If we have the ability to publish directly to Heroku, why involve a CI solution like CircleCI? What benefit does it provide?

CircleCI allows developers to test the builds before sending them out.
