Sometimes you show up to your job and find that you have 10000 square pegs that need to go through a circular hole. You can over time fix this problem but sometimes you need a stopgap. You may or may not ascribe to the google SRE creed but the goal is to get stuff working today with what you have however ugly it may be. Some hacky tool to restart programs to fix memory a memory leak is sometimes necessary due to time constraints or being a stopgap. Migrations at large companies can take multiple years whereas I can install this tool with helm in approximately half a day.
