more developers need to hear this

@mia I don’t understand what this has to do with my Mastodon post?

My suggestion is just for commercial projects to avoid K8s (given they’d need staff to manage it) and use PaaS, unless there’s a very good reason not to (e.g. massive scale or niche infrastructure requirements).

Unless the DevOps team is overworked / burnt out, they can barely keep the existing stuff running, and the devs are making a new app that needs unusual stuff, and most new apps in the company die after a quarter - I think in that situation, many DevOps would advocate for running that one app on Heroku if that's what the devs already know.

though that's an extreme case I guess

@wolf480pl @grumpasaurus fair comment, but I meant completely moving away (given they’d be out of a job)
