I moved off of swarm and back to regular docker after taking a hard look at our needs and infrastructure. Turns out we don't need all the clustering and scaling magic of swarm or kubernetes.

In fact, this has greatly simplified our development, testing, deployments, monitoring, and recovery.

If I need to scale then I add more cores to a machine with minimal downtime. No need for all this rolling upgrade stuff (at least for my applications)

Do you mind to tell us what you are using to deploy regular docker containers?
Did you have any issues with bugs or technical issues while in production?

Or are you simply moving away for the sake of simplicity/cost?

Moved away purely for simplicity. Clustering brings too many black boxes in the mix.
