I think the post title should be called “Production is hard” (as the author talks about later on). Pick up any technology out there: from Python, to C++, to K8s, to Linux… Do the analogous “Hello world” using such technologies and run the program on your laptop. Easy. You congratulate yourself and move on.

Production is another story. Suddenly your program that wasn’t checking for errors, breaks. The memory that you didn’t manage properly becomes now a problem. Your algorithm doesn’t cut it anymore. Etc.

Yes, they did, but did it really take less effort than running it on Kubernetes?

Quoting Bryan Cantrill: production is war.
