Maybe I'm showing my length of tooth here, but what's wrong with systemd? I can run a decently sized API on an AWS nano instance that gracefully deploys/releases when creating a release on github. I've just backed off the docker-compose version of this that I was deploying left right and centre to save cost and reduce complexity - it's a breath of fresh air!

Edit: RDS is great for the DB in this setup!

I suppose one benefit to docker compose over a strictly systemd setup (even one that runs units in containers) is on the dev side. If your dev team is working on macOS or windows the docker compose tooling will let them spin up the whole system just like on the AWS instance.

That's a fair point I did omit the fact that for local database - it's a docker compose file, with docker volumes. That way I can spin up a db per project super easily as can other devs.

Do you mind describing a bit more your setup here?

I'm super busy (sorry for dropping in and out!) I'll try to do a blog post shortly - and remember to come back here!

Thanks!
