THE HATER’S GUIDE TO KUBERNETES

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

Kubernetes can bring great value to companies, but it's easy to fall into the trap of over-complicating its usage. For a streamlined approach, focus on core Kubernetes features like Deployments, Services, and CronJobs. Use Kubernetes to run multiple redundant processes with load balancing and to configure them as code. Avoid Kubernetes for use cases where a human is waiting on a pod to start or for directly storing critical data, as there are better-suited solutions for these scenarios.
