For context: I was extremely lucky to get to work with Caleb back in 2012-13. He introduced me to Go and my life has never been the same :D

Properly hosting custom apps on the web in a resilient way isn't easy. This being the case, it seems an error to interpret the thoroughness of the article as a signal that the proposed solution or situation is unreasonably complex.

I'll take detailed and exhaustive over sparse and hand-wavy any day!

Kubernetes certainly has a learning curve, just like most worthwhile things in life.

Hosting personal projects being the task at hand, super high availability isn't usually a headline requirement.

That being said, there are certainly existing solutions for doing that, for cheap or even free tiers with less effort - Heroku, Google App Engine, etc.
