The truth is at scale the last thing you want is a nest of unmanaged complexity, so it’s also the wrong instinct there. It’s usually contact with the real world that dictates what needs the extra engineering effort, and trying to do it ahead of time just means you’ll sink time up front and in maintenance on things that didn’t turn out to be your problem.
- movedx 4y agoI think at scale, K8s is a good choice. I run a Discord server with like, 3,400 members now, and some of them are working at mental scale. They've claimed the same as you: K8s at scale is the only way. I would very likely agree in all cases. However, they only represent 4-5 users out of all 3,400. And that's the issue - only a small fraction of the industry operates at that scale :-)
