> Notably, I have not used Kubernetes but the anecdotal data does not lead me to think I’m missing out on much. My experience as a single developer on a new project is that the usability of K8s has improved dramatically in the last decade. I use Vultr VKS; setting up a small cluster takes a few minutes, it’s super cheap, and now I have a deployment environment with automatic redundancy, zero downtime upgrades, and much more. It’s not perfect, but I absolutely love it, and it’s made my life so much easier. I do hate yaml with a passion, and there’s a lot of boilerplate, but IDEs and templates make it bearable, and in any case it’s a small price to pay for all the automation I get.
