We use docker compose in production, but have our own custom tooling based around it.
K8s was a little too complex and docker swarm a little too simple. Rolling our own solution was a last resort, but it worked out well in the end - more control, deeper understanding and no nasty surprises in behaviour while scaling etc.
- dariusj18 5y agoI found that Hashicorp Nomad fit really well in between k8s and swarm for power to complexity. I ended up not being able to use it because they hadn't implemented the networking stuff that they eventually got, but it's pretty cool stuff.
- vergessenmir 5y agoI second this. Nomad is a nice middle. Like the post above I've built tools to fill that gap. What I don't understand sometimes is why there aren't many more orchestration tools in the ecosystem. Some tools emerge; work and then somewhere along the line get kubernetes feature envy and never quite get there. My home setup is now k3s.
