Well, shit hahaha but yeah, that would be weird as hell. I bet it has something to do with how electrons get aligned, but… I don’t know much beyond electrons moving between their shells

I was really hoping someone would catch this. I’m glad someone else was also paying attention in biology

That’s… huh…

Hey!!! Physicists!!! Can we get your input???

(Unless you’re a physicist, in which case… fuck)

That’s really cool. I figured it could obviously be done with fission, but I didn’t think we could just strip protons out of a nucleus. Cool share

Well, I’m glad you’re here, friend :D

I’ve worked with Swarm in a startup setting. It was an absolute nightmare. We eventually gave up and moved to Kubernetes.

That said, your use case does sound simpler. As I recall, we had to set up service discovery (with Hashicorp Consul) and secret management (with Hashicorp Vault) ourselves. I believe we also used Traefik for load balancing. There were other components as well, but I don’t remember it all. This was over 5 years ago, though.

The difficulty wasn’t configuring each piece but getting them to work together. There was also the time burned learning all the different tools. Kubernetes is great because everything is meant to work together.

But if it’s just two machines with separate configuration, do you even need orchestration? Is there a lot of overhead to just manage them individually?

Unfortunately, it was too long ago to remember the details of differences between compose and swarm. I do remember it was a very trivial conversion.
