K8s is not about scaling, it's about declarative configuration management, which gives you the opportunity to easily scale as an added bonus. It feels extremely liberating to have my code and Kubernetes files in a repository, knowing that I can deploy this with one command to production on any Kubernetes cluster. It's a great infrastructure abstraction layer.
I agree it's expensive though. A docker-compose.yml on a VPS usually works fine as well. Requires some additional configuration outside the Docker ecosystem though.
