I've spun up a lot of kubernetes clusters to test it out. A few months ago I also tested out Flynn, Deis, Deis Workflow, Openstack, and a lot of other options. I still haven't found a simple bootstrap script that gets everything set up on AWS and lets me simply deploy my application. And it's true that storage still seems to be an unsolved problem with kubernetes.
Heroku is great, and free for small services. On the other hand, a highly-available kubernetes cluster is going to set you back at least $100 per month, which is just too much for small startups and side projects before they take off.
I think I'm going to forget everything and head towards http://serverless.com/ http://serverless.com/. No Heroku, no Docker, no micro-services, no servers. Just everything running on AWS Lambda and DynamoDB. And everything static in S3 behind Cloudfront.
Or maybe just Firebase. But I really am tired of managing servers.

- zeveb 10y ago> So, why not ditch AWS and use GCP? It's a Google product offering, which means it could be EOLed tomorrow. Or this afternoon. Or maybe it already has — better go check their blog.
- numbsafari 10y agoAmazon and Google have almost the exact same language in their ToS for deprecation policies. Also, k8s is open source, so you can at least go somewhere else if you really must. GCP isn't "Google Labs".

- nzoschke 10y agoTake a look at Convox for setting up AWS then getting out of the way. It's open source and free aside from the base AWS costs. Disclaimer: I work at Convox.
- nathan_f77 10y agoThis looks REALLY good, thank you! I will definitely be trying this out.
