How we migrated onto K8s in less than 12 months

I've never worked anywhere that has benefitted from avoiding lock-in. We would have saved thousands in dev-hours if we just used an ALB instead of tweaking nginx and/or caddy.

Also, if you can't convert an ALB into an Azure Load balancer, then you probably have no business doing any sort of software development.

I don't disagree about avoiding lock-in, and I'm sure it was hyperbole, but if you really spent thousands of dev-hours (approx 1 year) on tweaking nginx, you needed different devs ;)

ALB costs get very steep very quickly too, but you're right - start with ALB and then migrate to nginx when costs get too high

Second paragraph is totally right - start with an ALB and move when you need it. At the point you are running into issues with either perf or cost of your ALB you have good problems.
