If you follow best practices; do not install these on Kubernetes. Kubernetes is very good at for micro-services and stateless applications. Of course Kubernetes support stateful applications like cassandra / nodejs ..etc applications you have a chance to deploy applications on Kubernetes using StatefullSets. Kubernetes treats statefull sets different than other resource objects. A StetfullSet Pod is always scheduled on the same machine as long as you do not delete them.Please take a look at the link https://kubernetes.io/docs/tutorials/stateful-application/cassandra/ You can deploy stateful applications on Kubernetes using the link above

We ran weblogic applications on docker swarm but not on kubernetes. All the configuration on kubernetes for stateful applications is pretty easy compared to docker swarm.
