I disagree, do they solve the same kind of problem? Yes. But the same problems? No.
If part of your application needs to be restarted, why would you restart the whole application?
Kubernetes is not an excuse to avoid application resiliency. Erlang/Elixir is not an excuse to avoid infrastructure resiliency.
Part of your program may crash, your node may crash. Both needs to be restarted.
- wolf4earth 5y agoI wonder how Kubernetes would look like if it was built on top of the BEAM.
- dnautics 5y agoI think Amy null is working on that. I got a taste of it since I wrote a vm orchestrator in elixir... It should definitely be possible. With protocols and behaviours it should be easy to build plugins that "just work".
- bostonvaulter2 5y agoIs that project posted anywhere? Or is there a way to follow its development?

- bostonvaulter2 5y agoAh, perfect. Thanks for the link!
- weatherlight 5y agoEverytime, anyone on the internet compares the BEAM/OTP to K8s, i need you to pop out of the bushes and say this. Thank you :)
