In a sane world, this would be satire, but I really can't tell these days.

Have people taken "Function-as-a-Service" too literally and done the equivalent of moving "is_even" into an AWS Lambda? Or maybe have a dedicated "is_even" nano-service with its own Kubernetes cluster?

You are thinking in right direction. Ultra small but critical service like "is_even" and combining it with reliability of a kubernetes cluster, that is genius level stuff.

How many have even setup a Kubernetes cluster manually?

They use a Kubernetes “distribution” that adds another layer of automation on top of that!!!

The day is near where “is_even” will be decomposed into multiple containers, with an added caching layer, and extensible authentication layer.

Agree. One can't really run enterprise grade solutions by haphazardly throwing code in a kubernetes cluster. It need to have fully automated pipeline with authn/authz and other fixings.

Caching makes it performant
