For a setup like that, yeah k8s is probably overkill unless you're planning to further decompose the application. But FWIW k8s != docker. Kubernetes is a piece

For a setup like that, yeah k8s is probably overkill unless you're planning to further decompose the application. But FWIW k8s != docker. Kubernetes is a piece of software for orchestrating containers and not only docker containers. Most people that are using k8s are using docker but I don't think most people using docker are using k8s (just a guess).
