The thing is that sometimes you do.
At my current company we're at cusp when we need to address scalability to able to grow as a business, and the business is growing. It took several years to get to this point, but here we are.
I prefer simplicity as much as the next guy, but at some moment it becomes simpler overall to use cloud services controlled by k8s than to maintain large amounts Ansible scripts and Jenkins jobs.
With that, by the way, comes an inevitable untangling of various parts in the software, and simplification of it. To be fast you need the processing path to be simple.
