totally agree.
someone asked earlier why docker swarm is not used in production or not even talked or written about? what are the issues and is anyone trying to fix them?
i honestly don't know either.
but i feel that, on top of us piling things on top of things, we are now also running a kind of popularity show for tools and to some extend languages. whereas the most popular tool is claimed the best and the one everybody should use.
you'd get crucified if you did otherwise...
