What a nice read Michael! Thanks for sharing.

I’m honestly a little bit on the other side of the spectrum on this. I started to believe that if you really own the products and platforms you bring in your infrastructure, you should bring them in.

If you are aknowledgeable enough to start a project on k8s, why not?

Actually now that I think about it more, I would prefer to “own” my stack completely. And not depend on any 3rd parties. If only I had the Devops skills. Writing this article, I'm really coming from a “I want to create a service from scratch, but dealing with the least amount of complexity necessary” angle.
