This thread isn't going anywhere. If your startup hasn't found paying customers there's no need to build earthquake-resilient software. For most businesses that are not billion dollar companies there isn't.

Of course for engineers that's a nice challenge, but that's the reason why engineers without a business sense have a hard time building their own companies if you prioritize perfect code and overengineered infrastructure over talking to customers or building the business.

I don’t think running a container, which takes one command and one small YAML file, is either overengineering or difficult.
