I wish more marketing sites just had a description like the one in the root comment, usually I have to read a bunch of docs before I get a grasp on what a product does when they introduce them on HN, if I could just read a description like this I could either look at more info or ignore it if I don't care about it.
Instead, I'm trying to make sense of APIs to figure out what a product called Floozbobble.io does and it turns out that it's SaaS for making SaaS product factory factories, and I don't care about that, but then some other product called Dizmeple.cloud comes out that makes it easier for me to manage my database deployments, which I do care about, and I can't tell I would want it because it has no fucking description!
When did we start to prefer these crap marketing sites that take 12,000 spins on my scroll wheel to get through and still don't tell you anything?
For my personal projects, k8s is so useful that I wouldn't ever build a server by hand again. I can spin up my blog or whatever easily on one cluster, and if it becomes too expensive I can just move elsewhere, or if I want to reduce my costs, I could just run a single-node-cluster (I don't need HA) on a DO droplet or something and still get the ease of being able to destroy and rebuild my apps anytime I want to. It might be "overkill", but so are most of the tools I use each day. Of course, I never create my own clusters, but it isn't that hard to follow a tutorial if I had to.
Is that anything but conjecture? I see a study showing that UBI is a "good thing", and you didn't provide a source for your reasoning.
Edit: to all those saying that the parent comment is straightforward, or common sense, or whatever, it's not straightforward or common sense because I disagree that UBI would be a failure. No one knows what would happen under UBI, but these types of studies give some evidence as to what is going to happen.
Everyone saying the parent is correct is basically similar to saying we should stop studying fusion because it's common sense we'll never achieve it (there are people who say that, too).
It's a good first step to study this, at least, and goes to show we need to test UBI on a greater scale.
