alt Hacker News> I prefer running services natively when possible, but will containerize complex services or those with many dependencies. Love: a service that’s a single Go binary. A service that only comes as a Docker compose file and wants to run MySQL, Redis, and three other containers? I’m already looking for an alternative.
Ok, I respect your opinion, but remember that there are poor souls like me out there that actually love the opposite.

A big reason I chose Rust and Sqlite for my project was that end users could just run the small binary and be done with it. https://github.com/sergiotapia/joyscroller
I think you can go very very far with this kind of setup especially if it's just for you.

All things being equal, why prefer Docker Compose? From my perspective, a single binary strictly dominates any Docker Compose solution.
