I agree, I personal prefer simple docker runtimes over orchestration systems

Newbies started on 2 node docker compose setup and went to production with a system they didn't understand and then had a bad time, blame the tool first... color me surprised?

Kubernetes solves problems, but you have to know your tools instead of saying they are not good or are overkill. Compose won't take you to scale, spend time learning an industry standard before you run it in production

so he says before this he wouldn't shut up about k8s, but obviously didn't even read the documentation.

how do you expect to use a tool as encompassing as k8s without even understanding basic concepts?

give these guys an airplane and they will start googling how to take off when they are already speeding up on the runway.
