It's good to see new projects. However most people shouldn't start with Kubernetes at all. If you don't need autoscaling, give Kamal[0] a go. It's the tool 37signals made to leave Kubernetes and cloud. Works super well with simple VMs. I also wrote a handbook[1] to get people started.

I’m not going to trust a project like this – made by and for one company – with production workloads.

We don't do autoscaling.

The main reason for Kubernetes for us was automation of monitoring / logs / alerting and highly available database deployments.

37signals has a dedicated operations team with more than 10 people. We have 0 dedicated operations people. We would not have been able to run our product with Kamal given our four nines uptime target.

(that said, I do like Kamal, especially v2 seems to smooth out some edges, and I'm all for simple single server deployments)
