Acorn: A simple application deployment framework for Kubernetes
This is nice.<p>But the real problem is Kubernetes. What do I mean by that? I mean the setup, care and feeding of K8s.<p>It&#x27;s nice to have a tool that you can quickly push stuff to K8s. There are other tools out there that do that too.<p>The thing is this, the majority of people who use K8s, don&#x27;t need to use K8s. Those people could easily get by with something like Dokku or even just start containers by hand to deploy.<p>Acorn is just perpetuation the cycle of recommending the over-engineering of K8s for small workloads and small companies that really and truly don&#x27;t need it.<p>I&#x27;ll say it again people. Spin up a few giant servers and call it a day. Save thousands of dollars in hosting costs and tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of dollars in engineer hiring costs. Bonus side effect? 10x performance than a passel of wimpy VPS&#x27;s.<p>P.S. I&#x27;m coming from using K8s in both Google Cloud and on Bare Metal.
