Hi,
I'm an.Net Developer (but completly new to NOP) , I work on Asp .net Core for 1 year now, and I'm very pleased to be able to host my production web sites within docker containers drived by orchestrators (Kubernetes/Docker Swarm...) on a Unix cloud.
Now since I developped myself my web apps, I took into account the future clustering hosting constraints to be able to run into a docker cloud (external cache storing, no host local dependencies etc ...) and it works like a charm with very high performances and availability.
Now since Asp Core 2.1 has been released, and EF Core now supports with 'Lazy loading', Nop 4.1 future release will certainly only reference the asp core framework (no more old 4.6.1), so it will be fully compatible with Unix and with Unix Docker containers. As some users already noticed the nopcommerce Docker hub registry as already been reserved https://hub.docker.com/u/nopcommerce/ which let me think the docker support is the next disruptive hosting of Nop.
My question is then : will NOP 4.1 be fully compatible with a Docker Clustering hosting driven by Orchestrator or some limitations may be blocking ?
As I need to migrate from 3.8 to 4.0, depending on your response I may wait for the 4.1 to be released if it's 100% docker clustering compatible (avoiding some pain in double migrations...)
Many thanks
Nicolas
