There's a ton of hype around k8s and tons of people positing it as a solution for everything under the sun. It's not. It's a good building block for everything under the sun, if and when you need the scale of "More than one team that doesn't want to get paged in the middle of the night". A ton of the solutions built on top of it are terrible. What K8s is good at - Running collections of stateless application servers. If you have a dozen copies of the same process that are all identical, K8s is right for you. There's a lot more it can do, but that's the one that is most common.
