Hetzner will rent you a massive 128GB of RAM server for ~150 bucks a month. In company terms, that is peanuts and whatever time you'd spend installing and managing K8S is pretty much never going to pay for itself, not to mention the added liability of all those moving parts.
The whole "autoscaling" thing is mostly bullshit invented by the cloud providers to make their insane margins more palatable. A dedicated, non-cloud stack sized to peak capacity will be cheaper than the majority of "autoscaled" stacks at minimal capacity.
