I usually use Docker compose locally, and then I deploy to system containers.

Nearly all my time is spent on developing my own software, so it's not like I make infrastructure changes every month. I set up a deployment pipeline that deploys it the way I want, and then I don't touch it until my infrastructure needs to change.

So I'm usually not even using application containers in production, Docker is just a simple way to simulate production services so that anyone can run a single command and have a complete dev environment.

Docker swarm works well with compose.
