I suppose I was lucky dabbling in one of my side-projects because I had money to burn. I put it all in Google Cloud and then learned just how much you have to complicate the stack (beyond the complication of K8S) to lower infra costs. Suddenly I wasn't using basic Kubernetes any more, I was setting up a new ingress controller so Google wouldn't launch a new load balancer instance for every public service I exposed. Those things aren't cheap. It was an amazing way to experience just how much you can suffer in the cloud, and just how far you can go down the rabbit hole with this kind of tech.
