From my brief glances at it, it seems like a great solution for very complex use-cases. But "vast majority"? The cost-benefit seems way off unless you have a very different sense of "typical use-cases" to me.
Most people are building simple web sites and apps that run on a single server, surely?
- thathndude 4y agoAgreed. OC is overstating it. It’s not that the anti K8s crowd is necessarily anti-containerization, it’s that containerization doesn’t necessarily require Something as complex as K8s. I’m invested in Cycle.io, which is a company that simplifies containerization and infrastructure (major oversimplification of the company). But a lot of customers are refugees from K8s, whose appetite exceeded common sense. Their infrastructure ops teams are costing them 6-7 figs that they can shed with something like Cycle, because K8s is simply really complex. This is going to become really really important in the next 3-4 lean years we have coming our way. If you’re a K8s user, and spending money you can’t afford on an ops team to manage, you owe it to your company, investors, and customers to explore options to reduce this type of burn. P.S. Intentionally not making a hyperlink for Cycle.io because I’m honestly not trying to shill here.

- andybak 4y agoI learned the basics of docker-compose in about an hour and I don't see myself outgrowing it in the near future.
