> why are more and more resources being allocated to keep it going What does that even mean? Where? Across the entire industry? In specific companies? Empirically how much “more resources”? Conversely you could ask: if k8s is so terrible and building your own version is so simple, why is the market not doing that? Everywhere I’ve seen that uses k8s does indeed have full time Devops/platform people, but the ratio to the developers they support is far, far lower than homegrown platforms, as is the time to implement new requirements. Usually these homegrown solutions get to a specific point in time where there isn’t the internal knowledge to maintain them, and the effort required grows too large. At which point they stagnate. Building on a stagnant, homegrown platform that you don’t know how to improve is not great.
