Having to run in k8s doesn't change that much, the description of a whole Cassandra + Kafka stack to deliver the ingestion of articles already says there's a lot more architecture astronaut-ing going on than simply deployment. I cannot imagine why you'd need a reactive pipeline built on top of Kafka and Cassandra to deliver some fanservice articles through a CMS, perhaps some requirement about international teams needing to deliver tailored content to each market but even with that it seems quite overblown. In the end it will be a technical solution to an organisational issue, some parts of their infrastructure might be quite rigid and there are teams working around that instead of with that...
