As a person running a single static website, I can confidently say that Kubernetes is the most overhyped technology ever. After having eventually realised that my tediously simple workload can be deployed effectively using a short systemd unit file and an even shorter ansible script, I no longer believe anyone actually runs production workloads on Kubernetes.

I will now be considering other options for the service mesh that my startup clearly needs to implement in order to send an occasional email newsletter.

My start-up has rewritten Kubernetes in Rust because Go is slow and doesn't implement traits in a rustaceous way. Now we have a system about which we still can't reason tractably, but we can guarantee memory safety wherever memory safety can be guaranteed.
