Interesting that the mania for over-investment in devops is beginning to abate. Here on Hacker News I was a steady critic of both Docker and Kubernetes, going to at least 2017, but most of these posts were unpopular. I have to go back to 2019 to find one that sparked a conversation:
The stuff I posted about Kubernetes did not draw a conversation, but I was simply documenting what I was seeing: vast over-investment in devops even at tiny startups that were just getting going and could have easily dumped everything on a single server, exactly as we used to do things back in 2005.
