Mirrors my experience, except some teams also decided to implement the new services in different languages... After a downsizing, we are now left with 15 services, 5 different programming languages and complicated kubernetes setup. We have less than 10 developers that has to maintain this. In addition we also have a separate flow for managing data and BI.

Kubernetes is a bit of the new OpenStack. It's like an all-you-can-eat buffet of complexity concealed behind interfaces. Either some startups go rampage with it and deploy needlessly complex stacks because the tooling makes it easy, hence a headlong rush into more hidden complexity to solve problems. Or they use it for the hype and merely deploy a couple monoliths with it, which Compose / Terraform would do just as well without the maintenance burden.
