> Swarm

docker swarm is so simple and easy compared to the utter behemoth that is k8s, and basically is all you need for CRUD webapps 80-90% of the time. add an RDS instance and you’re set.

i will always pick swarm in a small company* whenever possible until k8s or ECS makes sense because something has changed and it’s needed.

dont start with complexity.

* - bigger companies have different needs.



People have really been sleeping on Swarm. I sometimes even see people trying to recreate Swarm features with Compose. Wish more devs knew about it.
