"Kubernetes is for big companies only" - shut up.

team of 5 can do it. They seem great judging from their API docs + Hiring page.

Would work there.

Purple app "K8s is too complex" chatter made me post the above.

Love hearing that it worked well for you! you had IOT devices there right? so you're handling all the jobs with it?

at my last shop, we were running Kubernetes when we only had 3 engineers (including myself). infra automation works at any scale and we couldn’t have built what we built without it

what do you mean by vanilla vs overdoing with complexity?

I ran a large cluster supporting about 40k DAU’s and about 200 services with just me and one other engineer.

Vanilla kubernetes can go a pretty long way. I think big companies try to over do it with complexity.

With added complexity your talking compared to what else?

Would love to learn more

We were an entirely k8s shop at BisonTrails well before I joined, less than 11 people. Scaled up until acquisition by @coinbase. Still using that stack. But must have a reason for the added complexity. In Recall.ai's case it makes sense.

Declarative infrastructure is absolutely the future.

Kubernetes works fine at any team size. Been running my cluster for 8 years without any issues. Infrastructure automation is a must, and is a huge productivity enhancement.
