I thought it was pretty insane yesterday when I read a YC-backed recruiting company was using Kubernetes. Absolutely insane. It's become the new, hottest, techiest thing that every company has to have even when they don't need it.

It's perfectly sane if their team already knows how to use K8s, especially if they use a hosted solution like GKE or Digitalocean K8s. (I'll admit that I'd never want to manage my own k8s cluster.)

Once you know K8s, it's not very difficult to use. Plus, it provides solutions to a lot of different infrastructure-level problems.

Why is it insane? Was there something about this company's stack that could have avoided Kubernetes in favor of something else?
