Kubernetes just kinda won the container orchestration war against swarm, nomad, and mesos. It is quite an improvement over working with those orchestrators.

My strategy involves building stateless apps with distributed services that have good support in Kubernetes like Yugabyte and Minio.

What I do is host the thing on a cheap cloud server until it grows enough to need HA or scaling. At that point I move my workloads into a cluster.

I already have everything patterned out though so, I’m living in some sunk costs if anything newer or truly better comes along.

Curious, do you use anything specific (like Compose) for that single-server phase?
