Deployments are no downtime. It’s pretty nice and if you want to run with docker on the host instances you can but you can also just install the application using systemd.
It's wild to me that we are talking about a site running on a single 2 core VPS costing $15/mo and the developer didn't stop to consider that maybe they don't need Kubernetes for this. Like...just run your damn services on the box like we've been doing since web hosting first became a thing.
For me, the main benefit of Kubernetes is declarative deployments. You can have the entire deployment automated through this and GitHub actions, without much fiddling with the production environment manually. I know, it's overkill and I don't like it that much either, but it's the industry standard.
If jobs are what you are concerned about then I can assure you no company is skipping on software developers because they don't know Kubernetes syntax.
I should write a blog about how I saved the same amount in absolute terms by turning off the stuff i forgot is running in the cloud. Side note: the anime girls all over is kind strange. Like the header is giant cartoon tits? Why?
Was it really worth spending that dev time and effort for such a small return rather than the product itself?
And yea now you get to manage your own cluster… thats an ongoing cost too, not free.

> but it's the industry standard. I strongly disagree with this statement. Even at the most bubbly of Silicon Valley events you will not see kubernetes for a smaller deployment be an industry standard. It’s ok to make architectural mistakes, or otherwise over engineer a thing. We all do it. Let’s not standardize it. And to your credit thank you for publishing this example as a learning opportunity to others.
