As long as money is a non-factor, sure. If the idea is "just pay the cloudy tax" then I'd rather be on something like Heroku that actually makes my life easier, not harder.

Shocks me when people don’t know how east heroku is.

Okay I get it doesn’t work for all use cases. But it is such a gold standard for simplicity.

I moved an entire company from a falling infrastructure to heroku in a month. No downtime. Multiple environments and pipelines.

Now a company is a year into Kubernetes with no end in sight. Developers can barely function

Ok, then just use a single cloud load balancer which points to Traefik running inside Kubernetes. Then you can run as many deployments / containers behind it as you wish.
Yeah, that's what I said: you need a load balancer, and traefik (or one of a dozen other ingress things that do basically the same thing - have fun choosing) just to be able to respond to HTTPS requests.
I've added some discussion/clarification of these issues in the post and addressed the issues in more detail in another comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24224189 .
