Yeah, looks like a “poor man” docker swarm. And I would just go with swarm. It’s very good. And very easy to move to from compose. Too bad k8s won the hype battle here.

People get scared away from swarm because they make it sound like you NEED 3 managers minimum. This simply isn't true and it runs great even on a single node. I've moved all of my production and stage environments to be swarm based.

I just wished there was an easier way to have file-shares between nodes. Makes running a reverse proxy like traefik tricky.

the community is working on adding Swarm support to CSI vendors:

TBH, to me Swarm always feels like something way more complex than Compose, but also way less flexible than Kubernetes. For most people, I guess they either want simplicity, or a full flexible cluster with a great ecosystem.
