Kubernetes Hype - Do you really need it?
summary
Kubernetes sees widespread hype but many teams don’t need it: Google open-sourced Kubernetes in 2014 and it scales for massive, cloud‑native fleets, yet adoption requires significant DevOps expertise and nontrivial migration costs. Useful specifics: evaluate five‑year growth, number of services, cloud lock‑in, and custom infra constraints; large firms like eBay and Nokia succeed but small or bespoke environments find Kubernetes too complex and costly to justify, with longterm operational burden.
