Maybe You Don't Need Kubernetes

Any project that still fits Heroku has much cheaper options available with all the same reliability features: Elastic Beanstalk, OpsWorks, ECS, etc (I’m naming AWS options because I’m not knowledgeable enough about other cloud providers to suggest anything else, but I know all the major players have something in this realm.)

It really doesn’t take a devops engineer to run these if your app still fits on Heroku. A little bit of overhead goes into learning the service, much like you’d learn any new API or programming library.

The AWS docs are significantly worse than Heroku's, and in general you'll be likely to get tripped up and waste time figuring something out.

So? Continue to wade through it and you’ll end up with a significantly lower IT bill at the end of the month. The extra work pays off quickly.
