I wouldn't follow the path that this company took. I am a solo developer, use Kubernetes on Google cloud and I couldn't be happier. Parts of my application runs on AWS, taking advantage of what AWS does better, such as SES (Simple Email Service). All I had to learn is Docker and Kubernetes. If Kubernetes didn't exist I would have had to learn myriad tools and services, cloud-specific tools and services, and my application would be permanently wedded to one cloud. Thanks to Kubernetes my application can be moved to another cloud in whole or in part. Kubernetes is so well designed, it is the kind of thing you learn just because it is well designed. I am glad I invested the time. The knowledge I acquired is both durable and portable.
