Kubernetes is a red flag signalling premature optimisation

Rocket science isn't hard if you know it. Should we all build spaceships to deliver groceries? Good luck finding a few local rocket scientists in a pinch.

You can find plenty of auto mechanics though. Cars are cheaper and ubiquitous. Maybe they can't drive to the moon, but they can get most things done.

Unless your business is flying to the moon, stick to cars and trucks over spaceships.

lol what? k8s isn't rocket science, for a basic web app its a single yaml file

In the same sense that rockets aren't complicated either, you just put on a suit, climb in, press some buttons

I largely agree with the previous poster. If a single brief yaml file is too complicated, you're asking for too much from your tooling. I've seen hideous configuration management systems that did 1/100th of what kubernetes can do. There is some additional complexity around containers which is not a k8s complexity issue, and there are advanced features that most devs will never need to touch. Regardless, I'll take the complexity saved by k8s over custom built tooling or oversimplified PaaS any day.
