The last startup I was in was obsessed with putting everything into k8s for no apparent reason. Even the product they were selling, which most customers hated because it forced our customer base to either have to deal with the pain of paying for k8s because they had no need or intention to use it other than for our product or work with a cross-functional team which now created a time sink and dependency that wouldn't have been there otherwise. The best though was when I ran across someone in the org trying to run a single container to run a periodic job in its own cluster. They spent half the day trying to get it to work with ingress. You can imagine how it came to a head when the company realized they were spending hundreds of thousands per month on idle clusters in AWS.
