| The thing I hate about all of these is there is no 1 to n scaling.

Have you tried GKE? https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/

It abstracts away all the work of setting up a close to production HA cluster, so you can jump quickly into developing & deploying your app. You can start with 1 node and ask GKE to scale to N when you want it.
