Sad to see Mesos losing steam. My understanding was that Mesos subsumes the functionality of Kubernetes thanks to its Aurora scheduler. But it has much more customized schedulers, for different purposes, that might make it more efficient to run complicated pieces of software.

For instance, it certainly is possible to run a Cassandra cluster by having each instance run in its own Docker container. My understanding is that it would be much more efficient to run this cluster with a dedicated Cassandra cluster instead.

Is this right? Or are the performance benefits of running a dedicated Cassandra scheduler on Mesos negligible compared to running them in containers?
