You can run a single-node cluster for $5 on DigitalOcean, where a single Heroku prod node would cost $25. This price estimate doesn’t seem outlandish to me, but you do have to push it a bit to get to 80%.
- benterix 3y agoSure, but if for some reason you decide to run a single-node cluster in production, you'd probably be better off using Docker Compose.
- dividedbyzero 3y agoIf everyone else runs Kubernetes and no one uses docker-compose you might be looking at a ton of overhead, e.g. ITSEC may still expect you to run all of the stuff they offer a helm chart for. There may be no easy way to get the level of access on a VM to install docker-compose in the first place. Might well be worth running a single-node cluster just to be able to use an existing platform.
- mplewis 3y agoI can't buy a managed Docker Compose system from DigitalOcean, so this would be harder to get started with than managed k8s.
