I agree 100%. Keep things simpler, invest the $ that would have been spent on k8s staff on performance tuning courses & upskill your devs in squeezing every last millisecond out of a couple of dedicated servers. You can do lots with a couple of beefy machines if the software is tuned. Everything has become so abstracted away these days that performance isn’t even a consideration because people don’t understand the full stack. And I don’t mean “full stack” as it’s slung around these days. EG: doing 20 round trips to the database looking up individual records (as each is an object code-side), when you could just do one. Things like that are opaque & many devs wouldn’t even care or know, but a little bit of education can make a huge difference.
