Glad to hear you prefer Docker Swarm/Compose, I feel it’s a solid tool for when you need some of the more complex multi server deployments, and helps you avoid all the costs and complexities around K8s. Plus, running docker compose in development and docker swarm in production feels like the closest you can get to having your development environment match your production environment.

I run Minikube in Podman for dev. And then I use kustomize to customize dev, staging and prod environments. The environments are 99% the same, they just have different env vars and memory limits.
