Sure, depending on how you want to draw a line around features. Compose won’t do multi-node orchestration of deploys (I.e. update backends 1-3 sequentially, and revert the change on all of them if any fail to deploy). It also doesn’t manage your configs; ie if you need to roll back, it won’t do that for you (though git will let you do that pretty easily). I think Compose is great for the niches it serves; I have a lot of stuff that still runs on Compose because it doesn’t need any k8s stuff yet. I just don’t think it can be honestly called a k8s replacement. Compose offers equivalent features for some kinds of apps in certain situations, but k8s is a broader tool by far (for better or worse).
