I personally feel like Kubernetes tries to be all the things, which creates feature and complexity bloat to be able to accommodate any possible workload you can throw at it. “Cloud Native” is a bit of a misnomer. It’s more like trying to run your own cloud versus relying on a service provider.

Sure you can run a stateful, highly available database on k8s. But you’re going to have to manage the complexity of making it work on k8s. Or you could just use a managed database service of your cloud provider (which has existed even before k8s).
