I completely understand the use case for Kubernetes when you're dealing with languages that require a lot of environment config, like Python.
I've never really thought it was that useful for (for example) nodejs, where you can just npm install your whole environment and deps, and off you go.
- frompdx 6y agoI have mostly used Kubernetes for Node.js apps and find it very useful for the following reasons: - Automatic scaling of pods and cluster VMs to meet demand. - Flexible automated process monitoring via liveness/readiness probes. - Simple log streaming across horizontally scaled pods running the same app/serving the same function using stern. - Easy and low cost metrics aggregation with Prometheus and Grafana. - Injecting secrets into services. I'd imagine there are other things can offer the same, but I find it convenient to have them all in the same place.
