I am already fairly comfortable using docker and its tool set. Is the tide shifting towards Podman? Should I start learning how to use Podman? Thanks in advance.

    This is why our org enforces Kubernetes and Helm

    Compose is simpler, and has a much easier base use case, but we’ve found it more functional as a dev tool to get the service running before making a full deployment config, rather than as an effective production solution.

      Developing against k8s would kill me. I want my services and debugger running locally and don’t want to deploy shit first. In my current local setup it doesn’t matter if I spin up a service as container (because I just need it doing its thing) or if I spin it up with debugger attached in the IDE because I am developing (or debuging) it. I can fully mix-and-match at nearly every layer of the system.

      Our shared dev, stage and prod systems are also fully k8s. Not with helm though. For our own stuff we have an operator with CRD, so we can easily define our business services without much boilerplate and still be consistent across the teams. The different configs are built using kustomize as part of our CD pipeline.

      Yeah, compose for simple testing, then use podman convert it to k8s manifests and clean up from there for production, seems like a reasonable devx.
