kompose VS cdk8s

Install Kompose - a conversion tool that allows you to convert your Docker Compose code to Kubernetes configuration files Run kompose convert in the same directory as your docker-compose.yml to generate the config files for your Kubernetes cluster

Kubernetes (via kompose)

As stated on their homepage, with Kompose, you can now push the same file to a production container orchestrator!. The tool definitely covers a wide range of Kubernetes features, among which these are meaningless locally but crucial for kubernetes :

K3s is a small, open source, no nonsense, distribution of Kubernetes. I think you'll find it just as easy to setup as Swarm. The challenge will be that Kubernetes has an entirely different API compared to Docker/Docker Compose. This can be mitigated by a tool called kompose, but using this will limit what you can do on Kubernetes.

Although I recently moved my own services from docker compose to kubernetes using https://kompose.io/ and now the only thing I run with docker compose, currently, is my private docker registry but everything including in kube, are always in their own folders.

I haven't run into the need to do that, but there is the Kompose project that exists to help with the conversion (https://kompose.io/)!

Compose claims to do that. https://kompose.io and https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/configure-pod-container/translate-compose-kubernetes/

Any, it doesn’t matter which as long as you don’t have to count spaces in yaml by hand.

If you really want a concrete recommendation try https://cdk8s.io/.

CDK8s - CDK8s is used to define Kubernetes resources and applications. CDK8s uses the high-level abstraction concept called constructs to represent various Kubernetes resources such as deployments, services, and configurations. Developers can write code in programming languages like TypeScript, Python, and Java, and CDK8s will translate this code into standard Kubernetes YAML manifests that can be directly applied to a Kubernetes cluster.

Have you looked into https://cdk8s.io/? I've been using it for a while now, and I must admit TypeSript does help a lot. Not really sold on your React syntax yet, but well done nevertheless

I, personally, prefer to wrap it in CDKTF/CDK8S in golang and manage with Crossplane Composition Functions, but your mileage may vary. I'm finding way too bugs in CDK's... but it calms me a bit, that Amazon folks actually looking into it.

Have you looked into cdk8s? That will let you get away from dealing with yaml and let you use code instead. Helm included.

My favorite is cdk8s + typescript.

What about https://cdk8s.io/?
