You... don't know what Kubernetes is... pretty impressive, honestly.
Its 2026 and its the de facto method of deploying software basically everywhere.
You gotta really work for it to not know what its for by now.
- chrisandchris 3mo ago> Its 2026 and its the de facto method of deploying software basically everywhere. That is some really impressive bubble you are living within. Basically everywhere - nowhere near that, no. [edit]: Maybe containers, but software in general is so much more broad than containers.
- recursive 3mo agoI don't do much deployment but I'm in the same boat. Something something docker automation?
- YetAnotherNick 3mo ago2026 is the year for vercel and Render.
- RussianCow 3mo agoI haven't used them but aren't they basically modernized Heroku? What's different?
- throw-the-towel 3mo agoHeroku is dying, these are not.
- mindwok 3mo agoPretty close, they're very close to Heroku in spirit except the new wave of hosted backends (Vercel, and to a lesser extent Supabase and Cloudflare Workers) are much more tightly integrated with the app layer. You can almost think of them as libraries that run in the cloud which you can just use inside your app.
- thewebguyd 3mo agoEverywhere, huh? Still plenty just running on VMs or serverless that don't need full blown container orchestration. I'll agree that (nearly) everyone should know when Kubernetes is useful, but let's not pretend its the default method for everything. Even then, choosing to deploy on K8s falls on the sysadmins/DevOps I wouldn't expect the devs know or do much more than provide the Dockerfile.
