For setting up a software development environment from scratch, I’m
facing the following three options:
1. Deploy directly on the server, for example, running Kafka and Redis
on the server's operating system.
2. Use Docker containers on the server to deploy, for example, running
Kafka and Redis in Docker containers.
3. Use Kubernetes (e.g., Minikube) on the server for deployment, with
containers being created and managed by Kubernetes.
For a medium-sized project (involving multiple programming languages and
several team members), which environment do you recommend?
A variant of option (2): I'd go with OCI-format containers (what docker
uses) but I'd use Podman rather than Docker itself.
Going with containers leaves option (3) open as a possible future
migration. It also means you can replicate the live environment to some
extent on your development machine (run an identical container locally
for development)
