Should I use Docker to deploy to vps?

Question

Docker

Hello everyone, I have a vps with 2 gigs of RAM and a not very big screw.
I also have a small project (flask, nginx, postgres, redis) and docker-compose for it.
Actually the question is: Is it advisable to use docker-compose at all if I need to lay out the project on one vps and how much more efficient will everything work if I set everything up and raise everything myself?

Answer 1

From the point of view of the modern approach, "Infrastructure as code" is definitely worth it. In the case of a docker, the overhead still turns out to be small and without a serious load - hardly noticeable at all. And even if sometime such a misfortune happens that somewhere the performance drops, it will be much easier to take a fatter VPS instance than to dance with tambourines.
PS All eggs in one basket is better not to. At least, it is better to take away a DB on the separate machine.
