This article (https://medium.com/@copyconstruct/schedulers-kubernetes-and-nomad-b0f2e14a896) which a co-worker sent has a very good reasoning / introduction to why this particular company uses Nomad and it does seem to match our requirements.
Plus we already use Consul and Nomad plugs really well with Consul.
Are there more stories about people using (or not using and why) Nomad? Haven't found much in hacker news through Algolia search
Cheers
