@isoos, I'd be curious to understand more about why you thought YugaByte would be more operationally complex to deploy, as we strive to make things as easy to get started with as possible...

For example, for local testing, in our Quick Start docs section, we have info for: mac/linux, involving just downloading and unpacking the release and you should be good to go; for local docker, you can download our control script; for k8s download our sample yml.

Finally, for non-local testing, we have a Deploy > Manual Deployment section, highlighting the 3 steps for downloading YugaByte, bringing up Masters (metadata nodes) and then Tservers (data nodes).

Note: I work at YugaByte.
