Containers Are Not the Future
I wrote a satirical blog post on Docker&#x2F;k8s in 2015 [1]. At the time, I actually felt docker was the future, but it became clear over the next few years that it was too much. The complexity of docker &#x2F;infra&#x2F;devops is overwhelming, and something much much simpler is clearly needed.<p>I don&#x27;t know if Dark (my startup trying to solve this) is going to take over, but it&#x27;s pretty clear that the current complexity is unsustainable.<p>This goes double if recession&#x2F;layoffs&#x2F;etc is happening due to COVID. People are going to need to spend a lot less on engineering, and the amount being spent on engineers that maintain infra is an obvious starting point. I would expect people to switch to much simpler infrastructures, and reduce the complexities of their stacks by necessity.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;circleci.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;its-the-future&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;circleci.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;its-the-future&#x2F;</a>
