Traefik is really simple to set up and I’d bet setting up s3 is 100x easier than kubernetes no? Unless I’m missing something.

Fwiw I found swarm lovely and just so much easier to work with than anything else solving the same problems.

Porting a ten year old app from local file storage to s3 might not be trivial.

For a new app, one generally should and can embrace 12-facors, and delegate state to stateful services (managed databases, key-value stores, s3 etc).

Do note that for simple services, local disk can be very hard to beat for low complexity, extremely high performance - with the caveat that horizontal scaling might be tricky.

Ed: also depending on privacy requirements - self- hosted s3 (eg minio) might be tricky for a production load. OTOH self-hosted Kubernetes is no walk in the park either!
