Docker Swarm
Moved Out
hold
As of 2025 swarm maintenance has been to a separate company from the one that maintains Docker. We therefore recommend you avoid this platform.
Originally Docker Swarm was billed as an alternative to Kubernetes. However, when that didn’t get traction it changed course and retooled as way to bridge Docker Compose to a multi-machine setup. However, there are some issues with stateful data that - due to the lack of on-going support - will likely not be solved.
