I really enjoyed your post too! I would be interested in more details around the "100s of hours". I want to try a k8s setup like yours, but after investing those 100s of hours into my Flask setup it's hard to justify spending that time again for something else when this already works.

Also interested in the costs for your setup. My costs are in my other comment [1].

You should be able to run a flask app pretty easily in kube. Basically you would build a docker image containing the app then deploy it with k8 I believe

This is a dramatic oversimplification of how complex it is for a python developer to configure and deploy an application on kubernetes.

If they have the drive to create an entire SAAS app, how is following a a few tutorials on deploying it to a container in k8 too difficult? It only takes 20-30 minutes to setup and there are hundreds of videos and step by step walk through a that hold their hand through it start to finish. Maybe I am over estimating how difficult it is to build an app in Flask then.

Building, deploying and getting something that works fine isn't that complicated, but in my experience, without a strong background of the tech (the 100s of hours required), you will lose a significant amount of time, compounded by a high amount of stress and probably money / customer dissatisfaction, when a problem arises (even a trivial one), and that always happen.
