I am in a company with dedicated infra team and my CEO is a infra enthusiastic. He use terraform and k8s to build the company's infra. But the results are.

- Every deployment take days, in my experience, I need to woke for 24 hr streak to make it work. - The infra is complicated to a level that quite hard to adjust

And benefits wise, I can't even think about it. We don't have many users so the claimed scalability is not even there.

I will strongly argue startup should not touch k8s until you have fair user base and retention.

It's a nightmare to work with.
