We're moving away from Kubernetes because managing even a simple implementation is a full-time job. Obviously Kubernetes is meant for enterprises, but I've seen seed round/series A startups with a small engineering team using it.
We were at a crossroad. Either we hire an SRE that has extensive kubernetes experience for $130K/year or we move to a managed platform until we actually need those capabilities.
We're happy with the move and the pressure relief is tremendous. Now we can focus on features and not whether or not deploying is using ENV vars from our local machines and causing the system to crash.
