Running auto-scalling docker services

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

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • 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

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • 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.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
