I'm always surprised by all the vitriol on here against kubernetes.
My development experience must have been drastically different than the average hacker news startup developer.
It is definitely true you don't need kubernetes for all use cases, but I also sometimes question if people have worked on the sort of large-scale systems where k8s really shines.
My background is at larger enterprise type tech companies, doing high volume service traffic at significant scale, and I've found kubernetes invaluable to managing our services. To the point that if someone suggest we remove it from stack, I would question their experience operating these sorts of systems.
