Yeah, reading too much HN might make you think that the only way to write a scalable website is to write your backend in Rust, use Kubernetes, Cassandra w/ PostgreSQL, Kafka, and Hadoop, and TypeScript w/ Webpack and complex functions compiled to WASM.

The K8 cult annoys me most. When Kubernetes and Docker hit the scene YAGNI was the idiomatic response to any scaling scenario which involved less than a massive fleet of servers. Now every solo dev looking to launch his tiny Node app on AWS is expected to use Docker and Kubernetes. Utter madness.
