I 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.
