I do agree that Kubernetes is too complicated an low-level for most needs, especially for small projects. However, my experience is that while most apps start out really simple, if they are even modestly successful, they'll eventually need something not supported by whatever PaaS/Serverless/whatever they've chosen for deployment.

The hope with Adapt is that you start out with a really simple interface that looks like a PaaS/Serverless (Heroku, Zeit, adapt new/run etc.) but can be tweaked over time without having to throw out everything that was great about the PaaS. And by no means is Adapt limited to Kubernetes, it's just what is there now.

I think that a simple interface to something like Fargate/ECS with Adapt would be pretty nice as it removes the K8s complexity but handles all the container build/repo management stuff for you.
