I'm totally onboard with k3s/k8s being better in a lot of cases.
But docker compose can actually be very sufficient for what many projects actually need.
Granted I am a guy pushing for compose based localdevs and such but going further you often just cannot beat the simplicity of doing update QA or other CI/CD workloads in compose based projects. I have had dozens of projects where we replaced flaky slow and maintenance heavy pipelines with just docker compose up --build --wait in the past years. How come you say health checks are still broken?
