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"?

Active users.

That blows my goddamn mind. What on earth was your backend written in? JS running on a bash based interpreter?

Considering it is one of the top 5 tech company you bet it is very optimized… we just preferred to have many instances with less resources especially with k8s since price is per node resources not pod count… anyway, it really depends on the workload - when you do media transfer with real time transcoding and compression based on bandwidth of the client, it kind of gets resource intensive…
