Docker-compose on prod. Worth it or not?

Question

Docker

Often here I meet the opinion that docker-compose on prod is bad and you need to use other tools. But at the same time, the other half of the users even advise using docker for selling and see nothing wrong with that.
Yes, and on the same docs.docker I found an article about deploying docker-compose in production, which suggests that docker is still designed for production.
Who is right? Why can't docker be used in production?

Answer 1

I suggest you start with 3 things:
- analyze the current situation with production
- make a list of must-haves and near-needs for production
- check if docker-compose can provide them
docker-compose is one way to orchestrate docker. The advantage is simple. The disadvantage is that it is not as powerful and flexible as Kubernetes.
