Why on earth did the author even believe he needed K8s to serve 500 concurrent users? You could do that on a couple basic web servers behind a load balancer 15+ years ago. Hell, you could probably run the whole app, including the database on a single server if you don't care about availability.

For me its about IaC, automatisation.

Building my app, deploying a container image and building a helm chart is not a lot of work if you have experience and the initial additional work is only happening once.

After that, you have your whole app definition in code, seting up a second or third env takes 5 minutes.

I really should write a blog article about my stack and the advantges of it (git, kubernetes, argocd, helm, ...)
