Kubernetes is still the elephant in the room, but Docker Swarm definitely seems to be gaining a lot of traction as well despite being a much younger project.
I certainly wouldn't count them out just yet.
- sagichmal 10y agoIn what universe is Swarm gaining traction?! I am honestly curious; I'm deep in the ecosystem and I don't know of a single shop that uses Swarm for anything other than a POC, maybe.
- lewisl9029 10y agoPersonally, I can only provide the anecdata of noticing many more DevOps jobs postings mention Swarm lately, albeit often in the same breath as Kubernetes. This doesn't mean any of them are running Swarm in production, of course, but it certainly does mean Swarm is beginning to gain mindshare as a potential alternative. The results of Docker's recent survey also seems to align with my observations [1], but of course we should probably take their findings with a grain of salt.

- sagichmal 10y agoThat survey compiled results from those who replied to a Docker marketing email. The numbers are, near as makes no difference, pure fiction.

- joeseeder 10y agoI had a contract where we used swarm to schedule jenkins slaves for us. It's used in the production pipeline a lot for one of UKs most important projects.
