This is another brilliant writing example from dhh. What a master he is. Talk about the tech and the big sea changes, and talk about the people. This was clearly written with the help of many smart people. So good.

I'm very interested in kamal 2. I use dokku for almost everything and I like that I can do from the command line anything like deployment, use Dockerfiles, scale instances, switch proxies.

kamal 2 seems like it takes over an entire server. Is there any reason to consider kamal 2 if you want to buy a single server and run a bunch of tiny applications on it (the way I run dokku)? Maybe rails is heavy enough that you really need to run it on server by itself?

You should be able to run multiple services with kamal 2! [0] They'll just be their own config.yml file that you push with the cli.
