You're not alone. I lost it. Microservices, k8s, Terraform, etc. I don't understand my industry anymore. 99% of the time, they're completely useless and add a ton of complexity to the project. Just sheep, junior mentality. Your product isn't going to succeed because you use the same stack as Amazon or Netflix. If anything, it reduces your chances of success.

- CraigJPerry 5y agoI think it depends on the scale of your operation. If you’re big enough to have a Unix team and SRE’s then today I’d wager kube can save you time and money vs. manually managing cpu, memory & disk allocations, software deployments/rollbacks and disaster recovery steps. If you’re smaller than that, it really depends on the skillset of the team as to whether kube is a good idea or not.
- Toine 5y agoExactly. If you're big enough, these tools are fine. The thing is 99% of companies are small. Like, really small. Today, 50k users is really small.
