Spring over servlets This is not actually true. Servlets were never complicated. Documentation, specially the Javadoc, is terrific. I/Os and API are pretty simple. Problem is that there's a lot of boilerplate, and you ended up with a lot of copy-paste. But repetitive doesn't mean complicated. Spring solved may of these issues by providing the boilerplate. k8s is actually complicated. Both conceptually, and in implementation. I don't think it's an apt comparison.
