1. Anything that offers effective competition to Kubernetes is a Good Thing. I'm not saying this is because I haven't look at it closely enough but competition brings about improvement. 2. Why do people write "Simplenetes has a 100x less code than Kubernetes" instead of saying it has 1/100th the code?
why is that a perceived benefit By contrast, Kubernetes has at least 1000x more developers working on it
It’s way too complex already.
If you're looking for a simple Kubernetes alternative, take a look at the HasiCorp stack. I use that in production and it's easy to set up and maintain.
Or k3s ( https://k3s.io ), which is Rancher's awesome and lightweight Kubernetes distribution.

You might enjoy having a look at https://github.com/AlDanial/cloc It can distinguish between actual lines of code, comments and empty lines for a lot of different languages.
You might want to look at https://github.com/boyter/scc It's the same as cloc, but ludicrously fast.
I'm in love! Related: Bocker, Docker rewritten in 100 lines of Bash https://github.com/p8952/bocker
This is ~17k lines of shell scripting and claims to be "simple". Kuberentes is probably ~1m lines of Go. I'm not entirely convinced that this is less complex (simpler) than Kubernetes. There are many factors in complexity, but a big one for me is what I have to hold in my head – global state. From any given point, what do I need to understand to know what's actually going on. For Go, this is actually comparatively li…
I can't believe you are being serious - why are you comparing a shell script to a million-line piece of production software? Apples to oranges. This was written as a joke to make fun of a common gripe against Kubernetes - its complexity. Seems like the Kubernetes community has a bit of a thin skin.
Either way, setting aside the laudable amount of work put into this, talking about the issues of complexity and different forms it takes seems quite on topic. (I don't have a cow in this fight, not using K8s or anything of the sort.)
And some hapless person will be stuck maintaining and debugging it. It could be me, or you, your friend. You don’t want this to happen.
But thank you for bringing the world another tiny step closer to abandoning k8s and k8s (over-engineering) mentality.
You’re doing so much for the world and for all the developers. Thank you!
I don’t care about Kubernetes, but someone might read this post and decide that it is a good idea to “simplify” an existing project by rewriting it in 17000 lines bash script. And some hapless person will be stuck maintaining and debugging it. It could be me, or you, your friend. You don’t want this to happen.
I think the 17kloc would discourage that kind of thinking.
