Running auto-scalling docker services

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/docker

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Access the most powerful time series database as a service
  • SonarQube - Static code analysis for 29 languages.
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • docker-swarm-autoscaler

    Autoscale Docker Swarm services based on cpu utilization.

    If you want to have some sort of auto scaling, you will need to monitor to some extent though as this will be the signal for scaling up/down. I noticed that https://github.com/jcwimer/docker-swarm-autoscaler already includes the relevant prometheus configs required for just scaling by cpu.

  • faasd

    A lightweight & portable faas engine

    If you don't want to start with Kubernetes, faasd (https://github.com/openfaas/faasd) might be worth a look.

  • InfluxDB

    Access the most powerful time series database as a service. Ingest, store, & analyze all types of time series data in a fully-managed, purpose-built database. Keep data forever with low-cost storage and superior data compression.

  • OpenFaaS

    OpenFaaS - Serverless Functions Made Simple

    If you want to look into FaaS in selfhosted ways, take a look at OpenFaaS, which nowadays works on Kubernetes though - https://www.openfaas.com/. Note that the CE version of OpenFaaS only includes some basic autoscaling. For more complex solutions check out their paid version.

  • nf-faas-docker-stack

    Experimental: Getting modern OpenFaaS CE to run on Swarm

    If you are interested in an inofficial way that enables you to stick Docker Swarm (https://github.com/neuroforgede/nf-faas-docker-stack ).

  • swarmsible-stacks

    Set of default production grade stacks for use with https://github.com/neuroforgede/swarmsible and https://github.com/neuroforgede/swarmsible-hetzner

    There are many ways to achieve this. The simplest is to stick with what you have and sprinkle some prometheus on top. If you want to know how to get a prometheus + Grafana etc Stack up and running, check out https://github.com/neuroforgede/swarmsible-stacks/tree/main/02_monitoring where we have a modernized swarmprom which includes prometheus.
