I'm very disappointed with the fact that now one cares about simplicity nowadays. Everyone gets excited by k8s, then gets excited about tools around it (k3s, kops, helm, etc, etc) but no one understands that those are incredible complex tools with high cognitive overload.
This is 2020. Why do I have to think about 'containers' and 'nodes', why do I have to wait 30 mins while my pipeline will build image and trigger k8s to redeploy the things, why do I have bother with tons of YAML?
10 years back we've got Heroku and surprizingly no one tries to disrupt the space of infrastructure simplifying then. Everyone just tries to get things more and more complex.
The Dark ecosystem is perfect example of what backend should be. I don't agree that we need new language though, but at least Dark tries to solve complexity. While others just bring more and more leaky abstractions to the table.
Even your comment doesn't received any response. Why? People don't like to get they code just to work without all the infrastructure burden? I really really don't get it.
