Run 11 person startup. Use hosted GKE. We spend less than 1 man-hour per week dealing with K8s or anything like that. K8S is a big reason we are able to out-execute our competition.

I mean, k8s has 1000s of features. I am not using every one of them. I carved out the subset I need, and it is FANTASTIC. I get
* Great rolling deploys
* Self healing clusters
* Resource sharing / bin packing (rather than have 20 half used servers, I can have 6 much more heavily utilized servers)
I could maybe frankenstein these features on top of something else.. but frankly it seems absurd. If these are the only 3 features I use to run docker pods, k8s is a HUGE win to me.
there is nothing special about K8s in your situation.
ECS does not bin pack, does it?
Not available for those of us who choose not to AWS.
