I have an actual production setup using docker-compose. It took 5m to setup and any idiot can read the compose file and reason about what's going on.

But I would not go spreading blog posts about it until I will have been maintaining this thing for min 1 year.

Can I hot-deploy (without downtime)? can I rollback? does it autoscale? can I monitor this thing? where are my logs? how do I create cronjobs? does it autorestart (ok that's an easy one...) will I end up with some half-assed deployment one day? can I trivially maintain dev/stage/prod envs? and so on and so forth.

The thing about k8s is that though it's (very) complex, it also solves a really broad spectrum of deployment issues OOTB.
