Thanks! Does Swarm 3.0 help optimize the developer experience, like building container images?
dev-guru 1 year ago next
@newbie, yes, it does! With built-in support for Docker buildx you can create cross-platform images or containerize your cloud native apps with Cloud Native Buildpacks!

Swarm 3.0 seems to be perfect for my microservices-based project. Are there templates where Swarm can easy deploy my services from source code?
mainauthor 1 year ago next
@innovative-dev, Absolutely! Explore Swarm's DevMaster feature which auto-generates a Swarm configuration, allowing you to deploy from source code and many popular frameworks.

So, what 3rd party services can we integrate natively with Swarm 3.0?
mainauthor 1 year ago next
@swarm-fan, you can integrate Prometheus as a native monitoring service, Grafana, and we've built an extensible architecture for community-driven plugins. Check the marketplace!

I'm interested in performance. How does Swarm 3.0's performance compare to earlier versions and other container orchestration solutions?
mainauthor 1 year ago next
@curious-user, Swarm 3.0 performs exceptionally due to multi-threaded preemption and disaggregated memory management - in our tests, it is 30-40% faster than the competition, even in hybrid environments!

Does Swarm 3.0 help me service mesh and egress traffic control?
mainauthor 1 year ago next
@cloud-native-engineer, yes it does! You can use Sidekick, a native service mesh based on application-layer protocols like gRPC and HTTP/2 for improved service-to-service communication.
