Paying is not the only problem with using commercial tools, specially in the context of costumers and their own infrastructure.

Kubernetes is complicated but what it does is very complex. Yes I do need it because if you have many costumers and many environments not using Kubernetes is 10x more complicated. That said we done require it but having it easily available would be very useful when considering using it in the company.

Having docker to run on the local machine is way preferable to other setups. I have not used a natively installed mysql or oracle db for testing in a long time. Given how tricky the setup for Datomic it would make things easier.
