> Simple setups will be as simple with Kubernetes.
That is true if you already have Kubernetes. If you don't, then you still need to run and configure the Kubernetes' control plane (e.g. kube-apiserver, etcd, scheduler, etc). Doing that alone may exceed the complexity of a simple setup.
I say this as someone who has looked at Kubernetes a lot and wanted to use it, but could never justify it. I have concluded multiple times that docker compose is a better fit for my use case.
> However with Kubernetes your infrastructure will be ready to scale.
True, but for many purposes you aren't gonna need it.
