IS that a thing still?

> Kubernetes is... enterprise

I would contest that. Its complex, but not enterprise.

Nomad is a great tool for running processes on things. The problem is attaching loadbalancers/reverse proxies to those processes requires engineering. It comes for "free" with k8s with ingress controllers.

Yeah, using it in production. If you don't need the equivalent of CRDs or other complex stuff like network meshes, it's stable and pretty okay! My ingress is just a regular web server image, for example.

Ingress Controllers will keep working but the API is frozen, I think nowadays you're supposed to use Gateway instead: https://gateway-api.sigs.k8s.io/

I tried it out last year when I wanted to ditch our compose stuff and wanted to like it, but yeah, it seemed like it was mostly a zombie project. Plus it had a lot of sharp edges, IIRC. I forget what, exactly. Secrets? Ingress? Something like that.

Docker swarm is getting development again (caught something on their slack a few weeks back).

I'd also contest the k8s is enterprise. Unless by enterprise you just mean over engineered in which case I agree.
