HashiCorp Nomad is a nice alternative is something you can look into if you're looking for a lightweight Kubernetes replacement. Also, it doesn't support everything Kubernetes does, it should be enough for most use cases.
Thanks, been thinking about it. It looks really nice, but itβs really hard to beat how easily you can go from compose in local development to swarm on prod in small team.
Running k8s locally with kind isn't that bad either. Apart from having to load rebuilt images into the cluster all the time you can for most of the part reuse the same pod-manifests as you do in cloud environment.
