Additionally, podman has nice systemd integration for such kube services, you just need to write a short systemd config snippet and then you can manage the kube service just like any other systemd service.
Altogether a very nice combination for deploying containerized services if you don't want to go the whole hog to something like Kubernetes.
Last I tried using the .kube files I ran into issues with specifying container networks (https://github.com/containers/podman/issues/12965).
This is sort of "fixed" by using a Quadlet ".kube" but IMO that's a pretty weak solution and removes the "here's your compose file, run it" aspect.
Recently (now that Deb13 is out with Podman 5) I have started transitioning to Podmans Quadlet files which have been quite smooth so far. As you say, its great to run things without all the overhead of kubernetes.
How would you configure a cluster? I’m trying to explore alternatives to kubernetes, such as docker swarm, but I think that the options are limited if you must support clusters with equivalent of pods and services at least.
My usage is fairly basic though and I'm sure mileage varies, but for my basic web dev setup it's been perfect.

I have tried to find a good comparison between the two, but I find it hard to have a clear opinion on which one is best for me.
