I'm surprised Docker is the recommended way to run the application – it seems like a lot of hidden magic relative the ~800 actual lines of Go, and given that the resulting keypair is saved outside the container.

I am seeing more Post Quantum safety measures suddenly, than ever before. I know this was a topic from at least a decade, but it looks like a sudden interest across industry.

Did something change? It looks like there was some breakthrough in quantum computers scaling and everyone if given some time before making it public.

What could be the reason for this?

I'm seeing more of a gradual path.

Chrome 124 (april 24) introduced hybrid post-quantum TLS, and Chrome 131 (nov 24) switched to a hybrid using ML-KEM, which was standardized in 2024, just after Firefox 132 (oktober 2024), while openssh introduced a hybrid scheme in release 9.0 (April 2022) and made ML-KEM+25519 default in OpenSSH 10.0 (April 2025).

Hybrid PQ schemes being adopted in other places is people playing catch-up, not the avant garde.

I'd say digital signatures should be the foremost concern, those may need to provide non-repudiation for decades.
