Genuine question: I'm curious to know why you deploy with docker-compose and not Docker swarm (eg like described at https://dockerswarm.rocks/ ). I'm deploying the same kind of apps, and ended up with Swarm which seems to fit perfectly. I also found Kubernetes much too complex for my use case. Curious to know why we ended up with different outcomes.

Btw, I also use Compose, but for local runs (of other apps).

Nobody uses Swarm. Everyone understands compose, all projects ship with compose files.

Swarm reuses docker compose files...

Docker Swarm uses compose files too. Swarm is still used and maintained, though I agree it is much smaller than k8s. But that's not a reason to dismiss it I think. I went for it because it's so easy to use that if I need to migrate off of it, I would not loose a lot of investment in it anyway.

Do they? I have never actually seen that. Do you have examples?

I'm sure swarm would work for what I need and rationally its probably worth using, but I only trust docker as far as I could throw them and if I needed to really deploy I would probably just suck it up and figure out k8s.
