A few days DHH (from 37signals) wrote about how they moved off the cloud and how that has helped reduce their costs by a good measure.
Well, earlier today, he announced the first bit of tooling that they used as part of their cloud exit move: Kamal - which is already at version 1.0 and, according to DHH, stable.
I took a quick look at the documentation and it looks to me like an augmented and feature-rich Docker Compose which is, to no surprise, rather opinionated.
I think anyone who’s had experience with the simplicity of Docker Swarm compared to K8s would appreciate Kamal’s way. Hopefully it will turn out to be more reliable than Swarm though.
I found it quite a pragmatic approach to containerising an application suite with the aim of covering a good portion of a the use-cases and requriements of smaller teams.
PS: I may actually try it out in an ongoing personal project instead of Compose or K8s. If I do, I’ll make sure to keep this post, well, posted.
Definitely interested to see where this goes. What sort of security model does it have?
The “web app in production with Docker” one.
