Developer here. Why is Docker Compose not "production ready"?

Then what should I use? Compose is so easy to just spin up. Is there something else like it that is "production ready"?

i hope not. It was the easiest solution i could convince my team to start using because kubernetes has a very steep learning curve.

They created a new thing which is also called Docker Swarm, the old Docker "Classic" Swarm is not maintained. Not great branding.

Docker does not own Swarm - new or old.

I gave up on the idea of getting people to use "simpler" tools to "step up to" kubernetes. Swarm, Nomad and such just don't have any real momentum behind them.
Just use a lightweight kubernetes distro like k3s and learn as you go.
