genuine question here. im hoping u folks have put a lot more thought into it than i have. so devpod "production OS" - the top level devpod - contains ALL running services ? at Uber scale it is what 64 GB RAM ? if ur already using kubernetes ... why do it this way rather than have kubernetes namespaces with many containers in a dev cluster ? trivially this is a docker compose stack right ? second question - has there been a ROI recovery in terms of laptop hardware for devs ? like - u only 8 GB ram laptops and not more.

In the way that docker is the same thing as Kubernetes, yes. However there are differences that become material when you zoom in a bit closer. second question - has there been a ROI recovery in terms of laptop hardware for devs ? like - u only 8 GB ram laptops and not more. > second question - has there been a ROI recovery in terms of laptop hardware for devs ? like - u only 8 GB ram laptops and not more. I don't think it's an optimization for dev laptop specs. At the end of the day, it's cheap for Uber to just max out the ram on dev laptops.
