Ask HN: Kubernetes at big, non-tech companies?

I feel your pain man.

A big part of the story is that k8s is a naked king.

It’s just really poorly designed, over-engineered, shitty devx piece of software.

But most of devs eat you alive if you tell them this harsh truth.

We, regular engineers must be patient while people coming to enlightenment on their own and someone with big money would start developing & promoting better alternative.

Very different from my experience, k8s makes deployment very easy. We use Concourse CI for build and deployment and it's very easy. Using Helm to control DDL changes using liquibase pre-deploy jobs, makes the deployment self contained.

Easy compared to what?

To nothing — yes.

To good examples of software like Swarm — well, my comment rating just proves my point.
