Personally, I like Docker Compose and Swarm, at the very least for non-production workloads - they're just so much lighter and simpler than k8s.

I actually would have liked to see Docker not give up on Swarm so readily. There's absolutely room for a something simpler than k8s.

Hindsight is 20/20. I recall looking at k8s and swarm closely circa 2014-2015. K8s wasn't very good. The networking worked best in the Google cloud .. not your usual datacenter. I recall concluding Swarm was the better tech. If history was any guide, k8s would lose steam. The borg connection .. I duno how much actual code went in there.
