swarmpit VS elastic-beanstalk-roadmap

So I need to setup prometheus, granfana, node exporter, and cadvisor before running this? All of the above give me everything I need to monitor a swarmcluster. And if I want multi-user access to the graphs, I’d configure auth in Grafana.

Further, if I were to monitor Swarm without the Prom+Grafana stack, I’d be looking at:

https://github.com/swarmpit/swarmpit

What is the value-add of Storm?

And then also look at Swarmpit https://github.com/swarmpit/swarmpit. It was last updated Aug 28, 2020 as well, so I don't know how active it is, but I also used it for a while before sticking with Portainer ultimately.

Kubernetes is a bit overkill. For my homegrown usage i use docker swarm. And use https://swarmpit.io to manage it

Specific to swarm but it might help soneone in a way https://github.com/swarmpit/swarmpit

In my experience, there are actually two platforms that do this pretty well.

First, there's Docker Swarm ( https://docs.docker.com/engine/swarm/ ) - it comes preinstalled with Docker, can handle either single machine deployments or clusters, even multi-master deployments. Furthermore, it just adds a few values to Docker Compose YAML format ( https://docs.docker.com/compose/compose-file/compose-file-v3... ) , so it's incredibly easy to launch containers with it. And there are lovely web interfaces, such as Portainer ( https://www.portainer.io/ ) or Swarmpit ( https://swarmpit.io/ ) for simpler management.

Secondly, there's also Hashicorp Nomad ( https://www.nomadproject.io/ ) - it's a single executable package, which allows similar setups to Docker Swarm, integrates nicely with service meshes like Consul ( https://www.consul.io/ ), and also allows non-containerized deployments to be managed, such as Java applications and others ( https://www.nomadproject.io/docs/drivers ). The only serious downsides is having to use the HCL DSL ( https://github.com/hashicorp/hcl ) and their web UI being read only in the last versions that i checked.

There are also some other tools, like CapRover ( https://caprover.com/ ) available, but many of those use Docker Swarm under the hood and i personally haven't used them. Of course, if you still want Kubernetes but implemented in a slightly simpler way, then there's also the Rancher K3s project ( https://k3s.io/ ) which packages the core of Kubernetes into a smaller executable and uses SQLite by default for storage, if i recall correctly. I've used it briefly and the resource usage was indeed far more reasonable than that of full Kubernetes clusters (like RKE).

I believer Portainer and Swarmpit would have this capabilties https://www.portainer.io/ https://github.com/swarmpit/swarmpit

Based on the fact that your ideal is to have a similar experience to heroku than managing your own server setting up reverse proxies take a look at these options:

1) https://dokku.com - lets you turn your light sail instance basically into heroku

2) https://render.com

3) https://fly.io

4) If you have aws credits this is their heroku equivalent: https://aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk

above is not what I do but would be the options I would pursue if I understand your preference and requirement correctly.

Elastic Beanstalk (EB) is a cloud deployment service provided by Amazon Web Services. It facilitates the deployment and scaling of web applications and services by automating the creation of individual infrastructure components, including EC2 instances, auto-scaling, ELBs, security groups, and other infrastructure components. Using the AWS Management Console and command-line interface, deployment with EB is quick and simple. Although EB automatically handles your application’s deployment, the developer retains complete control of the AWS resources that run the application and may access them at any time. This is important, and it is a top benefit of using this service.

This Terraform code snippet can be used to deploy an AWS Elastic Beanstalk environment:

K8s isn't going to play well with your deployment pattern without some advanced cluster management. Honestly it seems like you would be better serviced with something like https://aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/ .

If your project is a bit more complicated using next.js or react.js or angular.js, you may find some free Platfrom-as-a-Service%20is%20a%20complete%20cloud%20environment,middleware%2C%20tools%2C%20and%20more.). I have seen some of my peers using free PaaS like Heroku, Vercel and I have no experience in using PaaS but I will recommend you to use PaaS from either of the three 1. Google Cloud's Google App Engine 2. Microsoft Azure's Azure App Service or 3. Amazon Web Service AWS Elastic BeanStalk

According to the official documentation, Elastic Beanstalk is a service that allows users to upload and deploy web applications in a simplified way.
