I am building the <a href="https://github.com/claceio/clace">https://github.com/claceio/clace</a> project as a platform for teams to deploy internal tools. As part of that, Clace implements an application server which uses containers to deploy any application.<p>AppServers can be much easier to use compared to full-featured container orchestration solutions. AppServers support deployment of stateless applications only. The limited scope means that it can be much easier to configure and use.
