If you don't have microservices/soa architecture then you don't need k8s. Most people don't need skyscrapers. But yet there's a lot of them in the world. Just because you don't need one and don't have one doesn't mean that other's don't

"Anyways, the point I am trying to make is you should use whatever is the easiest thing for your use case and not just what is popular on the internet.

Much better to jump on the latest tech trend.

I don't know.

I've always found having an actual, functional product to be more impressive than a list of buzzwords on your resume. And most of the buzzword-driven development doesn't usually lead to a functioning system.

Maybe someone here can help me figure out what I need, since the world of containers is growing faster than I can understand. I have one code base that I run on multiple servers/containers independently of each other. Think Wordpress style. I used to run it on Heroku but I switched to Dokku because it's substantially cheaper and I don't mind taking care of the infrastructure. I like Dokku but I do worry about being t…

I haven't used it myself, but https://flynn.io/ seems to be targeted at that use case.

Last release was in 2017. I don't think flynn is still alive which is a shame.
