How does the deployment process differ from CapRover/Dokku?

Deploying a simple app with a database with Dokku is something like: 1. Run command to create a database of your choice(Postgres, MySQL, Redis etc) 2. Run command to create application 3. Run command to link the database to the application 4. Push to the Dokku repo to deploy the application.

Don't bother k8s is like the lvl of the dragon in front of something like dokku, If you don't really look for auto scaling, or you are running a business alone, don't go for k8s

Both can solve the same issue and both are similiar as they orchestrate your platform.

Kubernetes is just the future, used by much more people and you have the additional benefit of learning kubernetes which might help you in your job/day to day business etc.

If you are already thinking of operating CapRover/Dokku, i would strongly considering using kubernetes instead.
