hey folks, I saw Score mentioned a few times, is anyone here using that and care to share experiences?

I evaluated it, and really like it, but.. since it only covers containerized workloads (and is very K8s-biased imho), and we use a lot of other workloads (serverless), it unfortunately did not fit for us.

Hey David! I am basically working with Score every day - for our internal projects and also for platforms that I help my customers build. Score simply works - not for every case OOTB but you can customize it if needed as it is OSS. If you have specific questions, we have Score maintainers here as well - e.g. @Mathieu Benoit. Or you could hop over to CNCF Slack and join the project community there.

like @Dirk Jablonski, I have >80% non containerized workloads. It looks like extending Score for these would be essentially writing serveral whole new standards.

Although we do not use score, I use it as an "inspiration" and try to mimick is as closely as possible (but also still in evaluation phase).

To give you some inspiration as well - most of the time it’s not the spec that needs to be adjusted but rather an implementation that needs to be built. Here’s an example how an implementation can be built out for Fly.io - https://github.com/astromechza/score-flyio. Writing another implementation for e.g. a serverless runtime that can consume containers would be down the same alley.
