Well all of those issues are fixable, but I think it is a totally valid reason not to use k8s if you don't have a dedicated infra person/team.

- superice 4y agoYeah, definitely! This is why I am not that harsh of Kubernetes as a tool at all, I'm just saying that it's not suitable for us for these reasons. In our context of <4 FTE of dev power it just isn't worth the manpower we have to throw at it to make it work, I'd much rather invest that time into moving our core business forward. I might see ourselves moving back to it in the future, but in the meantime we really just need a Heroku / Fly.io / DO apps / AWS ELB or so. At my previous employer (~50 FTE of devs, 2-ish FTE dedicated to infra) Kubernetes worked perfectly fine, and I think in that context it made a lot more sense.
