I think this blog post is one turn of the crank away from a truth we're all about to learn: don't hand roll your own Kubernetes ingress.

Dealing with the traffic handling between your users and your code is not a trivial problem. Like all good ops problems, you can fix it with good tools, deep knowledge of those tools, fine-grained observability, and smart people running all that.

This has been the recipe for a couple of really successful SaaS offerings. Individual servers? Datadog. CDN? Akamai / Fastly.

Disclaimer: I work at one of those companies, Turbine Labs, and we're trying to make ingress better. Here's a presentation from our CEO on Kubernetes ingress, and why the specification creates the problems that this blog post is trying to fix. https://www.slideshare.net/mobile/MarkMcBride11/beyond-ingre...
