Actually if you are using StatefulSets and PV, then kubernetes is a better fit for you. However, Swarm is undeniably simpler to work with unless you have very specific requirements that only K8S provides. The yml file is incredibly simpler. Docker Swarm is the Kotlin to Kubernetes' Java. It's a much pleasanter and much less intimidating way to build production systems that scale pretty well. Kubernetes needs you to have load balancers setup which can talk K8S ingress. Bare metal setup for k8s is a huge effort (and I have stuck long enough on #sig-metal to know) as compared to Swarm. You should try out Swarm - you might choose not to use it, but you will enjoy the experience.
