Maybe so, but you won't be affected by this outage if you never decided to deploy k8s in the first place.

Even if you deploy k8s privately, or over at Amazon, I think there's enough horror stories to make you think twice about the technology.

Then, if it isn't going to be k8s for microservices, what's a more reliable alternative?

I have a question. At what point does k8s make sense?

I have a feeling that a microservice architecture is overkill for 99% of businesses. You can serve a lot of customers on a single node with the hardware available today. Often times, sharding on customers is rather trivial as well.

Monolith for the win! Opinions?
