I'm in the exact same boat with you. I was at a shop that used DC/OS at work, and to be fair, it's probably the easiest to get initially setup. But even a basic setup is going to be really expensive, as I discovered: https://penguindreams.org/blog/installing-mesosphere-dcos-on-small-digital-ocean-droplets/ https://penguindreams.org/blog/installing-mesosphere-dcos-on...
