Scalable and resilient Django with Kubernetes
I&#x27;m really struggling to understand why most developers feel they need all this deployment complexity.<p>I&#x27;ve run django and other web deployments with simple shell scripts and occasionally some python to glue it together.<p>Most recently I&#x27;m running a django web server and some other custom stuff (a real time stateful server, database, nginx, etc).<p>A somewhat complex setup (or at least as complex as it needs to be), and I have no need of docker, kubernetes. If I want a new server, I just change a few parameters and run the script to deploy. It&#x27;s straight forward and without magic.<p>The deployment flavor of the month before were DSLs like ansible, puppet, etc. Did these solve real problems? I found they added complexity without adding much. How is the new generation different?<p>Caveat: I&#x27;m not google, and I don&#x27;t deploy huge server farms. There is a use case but the vast majority of us aren&#x27;t that.
