Kubernetes provides good abstractions for managing deployments, but Kubernetes also comes with massive overheads. The overheads come in terms of the many yaml files needed to define services, and in terms of complexity of the underlying infrastructure for hosting the cluster itself.

If you were in a bigcorp in charge of orchestrating 1000s of services, that overhead could be worth it.

However, if you were a solo dev trying to deploy one service, that overhead is really bad.
