Alpine - not for Servers

I've been playing around with Alpine quite a bit in the last few days, though only in VMs and containers.

I have to say that I like it a lot for its simplicity and great package manager so I was considering to use it in my next project to replace a small office server offering Soft RAID, Samba, Dovecot, and maybe some other services.

Having tested it thoroughly in the VM, I am sure that Alpine is perfectly capable of handling these services.

But for the first time I read a bit more about Alpine here on the website and also on third party pages, and I have to say I'm a bit confused. Many articles speak of Alpine being an OS for routers and firewalls, the official information speaks about desktop systems, development boxes and virtual servers on top of that. But nowhere is it mentioned that Alpine should be used as a server OS.

So, I was just wondering if anyone could tell me if there is a good reason why I should not consider Alpine for my next server project?

Thanks
