How I use the good parts of AWS

I guess you can make either one as complicated as you want, but surely just putting a container on a server is rather simple? There's no mesh for a single server, and is a potential spike a realistic concern?

I get your point but I think with products like Knative/Cloud Run everything will converge on a lambda-for-containers model eventually which combines the best of both worlds.

There's still a mesh. Containers need to know which containers to communicate with and across which ports.

If putting a container on a service at scale were simple then services like Lambda would have never been popularized and orchestration frameworks like kubernetes wouldn't exist

I don't think popularity means it's the best option. That's the point of the blog post.

I'm also the first to recommend Kubernetes as soon as you need it as it's a solid platform, but most apps stay small and don't need all that upfront complexity. However I stand by Knative being the best of both, have you had a chance to look at that?
