Kubernetes won't save you
summary
Claim: Kubernetes often becomes an overcomplicated choice when the real blockers are cultural and organisational. Shows a concrete IoT case: a camera with on-device object detection, a platform built as scalable microservices on Kubernetes (Kotlin → TypeScript), then forced into a single-node offline deployment delivered on a USB — working but wildly overengineered. Presents tools used (managed clusters, CNCF maturity matrix, Team Topologies), measures of success (delivery mode, learning culture, psychological safety) and when replacing infra is actually the wrong solution.
