A comment on We Don’t Use Docker. Parent comment
I wanted to drive a point and SO is a good enough example to show that a massive company of the size of SO can run, so can your tiny app.
Don’t scale prematurely. A lot can be done by reasonable vertical scaling.
For one $120k/year Kubernetes infra engineer, you could pay for entire rack of beefy servers.
Obviously YMMV. Discussion about SO and licensing details are distracting.
