Back then, I deployed a DC/OS cluster for production apps with Marathon, all running on top of Mesos. Kubernetes already existed, but it was incredibly complex for my needs and too hard to set up.</p> <p>I followed the trends and the evolution of K8s for a long time. I wrote manifests for all my apps, set up CD pipelines with ArgoCD and FluxCD (why not both ?), and tested managed K8s with autoscaling. But something just felt off. I’m a &ldquo;simple&rdquo; backend engineer who does a lot of sysadmin and DevOps work, and Kubernetes simply felt like overkill.</p>
