I keep seeing Podman mentioned as a Docker alternative, but I'm unclear on when the juice is worth the squeeze. For someone doing typical web development (Node.js/Python services, Postgres, Redis), what specific problems would Podman solve that Docker doesn't? Is this more about security/compliance or are there developer experience benefits too?

At a high level, Docker and Podman implement the same standard for containers, but my understanding is that Podman implements more of said standard (more/newer features) and in a more standards compliant way.

This can be a good or a bad thing—good because it's better, but bad because the popularity of Docker sometimes means things aren't compatible and require some tweaking to get running.
