At Reddit, we’re beginning to move our stateless services to it. We’re still in early stages and want to have a story that can at least be better than our current infrastructure. A lot of that means heavily utilizing Kubernetes abstractions, sticking close to the community and it’s tooling so we can provide more functionality than we could before with just a small team of infra folks. What I mean by this specifically is benefits of things like having an API for deployments, being able to provide different rollout strategies, offering devs access to more infrastructure safely etc. Another thing we’re hoping Kubernetes helps us solve is being able to become multi-cloud tenants. The benefits of this to us would be cost savings, and hopefully more reliability.
