The article is a bit vague. It's hard to disagree with the idea that you shouldn't use k8s if you don't know it well, or you're deploying very simple apps.

I resisted learning k8s for a long time, but eventually came around because it makes setting up a unified dev/CI/staging/prod environment so much nicer than anything else I've dealt with.

Thanks for the comment!

You're right, it's amazing at that, I've had a similar experience.

At small scale you can also do much of that pretty well also with ECS, we use GitHub Actions for driving our deployments using Terraform.
