Kubernetes vs. 
Stacktape
KubernetesKubernetes is a popular and widely adopted tool for orchestrating containers.
However, it comes with great architectural, configuration, operational and financial overhead. It also requires other tools to provision the infrastructure, manage source code packaging & other DevOps tasks.
Stacktape's Advantages

Programmatic SDK
