As I see it, managed Kubernetes basically gives me the same abstraction I’d have with Compose, except that I can add nodes easily, have some nice observability through GKE, etc. Compose might be simpler if I were running the cluster myself, but because GKE takes care of that, it’s one less thing that I have to do.
