There is a post about getting overwhelmed by 15 containers and people not wanting to turn the post into a container measuring contest.
But now I am curious, what are your counts? I would guess those of you running k*s would win out by pod scaling
docker ps | wc -l
For those wanting a quick count.
Would tailscale services work as an alternative to this? My understanding is that you can ignore the load balancing and just proxy a name to a container port
