It’s cpu/memory overhead yes, but between matching prod and dev, extremely simple config (redis is always located at “redis:6379”), zero setup instructions (skaffold dev), remote/local hybrid development, and fostering prod-ready skills for developers (still working on that devops koolaid), I find it -extremely- worthwhile. I’ve yet to meet someone who doesn’t hate it to start (because kubernetes) and winds up loving it and swearing by it.

It’s essentially a vastly superior “vagrant up” on anabolic steroids
