Swarm was interesting, but it seems that both SwarmKit and "Classic Swarm" are dead[1][2], with no real activity since 2018.

Kubernetes, for better or for worse, has clearly completely won. Not that this article isn't interesting for it's own sake, but it's just something to consider.

I know Mirantis have pledged to continue developing Docker Swarm, but it still strikes me as a pretty risky choice for 2020.

I know some companies still using it because they say K8 is too complex (e.g. learning curve) for their needs. It could be appealing to these cases.

I am looking into this now. Basically it’s either this or the super hard Kubernetes right? I find it hard to believe that we don’t have a middle ground?

K3s is pretty approachable.

Mesos and K3S are two other choices in that space.

Docker Swarm is a marvel. It's super easy to use yet does the job very simply.
