Not everyone needs an over the top Kubernetes cluster in production. I'm plenty happy using Docker Compose in production and foresee myself continuing to use it as long as Docker maintains it. There's even a WIP issue on their roadmap[0] to rewrite Docker Compose with Go to make it more consistent with their main CLI. Looks like full steam ahead to me rather than death.
It's really nice having the same Dockerfile + docker-compose.yml get used in dev + ci and prod. There's no surprises and no massive amount of complexity.
