Can you elaborate on Docker Swarm? I thought it lost out to Kubernetes and was effectively dead.

Swarm never died. Kubernetes was designed for an entirely different level of scale and there is inherent complexity in that. Whereas starting a production-ready container service with Swarm only takes a few commands on a fresh Docker installation.

Honestly, Docker Swarm is so great. We use it with 6 very beefy machines (each 1tb memory/96cpu cores) for years already. It's so stable and well done, no restarts, crashes, or weird behaviors. We use it in a Hetzner VLAN and performance is excellent. We are very satistfied with it, and I would use it for even bigger scenarios. I even thought about building something like coolify/flightcontrol on top of it, so I can really easy have proper deployments of my stuff

I've been using Docker Swarm for almost 6 years now deploying entire stacks for customers on top of it — it's stable and incredibly cheap to maintain.
