I switched jobs recently and became the defacto DevOps person so have been able to deploy mostly how I want. I’ve used kubernetes at multiple jobs, side projects and at home but for a cost and time constrained startup we are leveraging ECS/Lambda/Batch/Cloudfront. B2C application, mostly low traffic with nearly no traffic off hours. Occasionally we’ll get a big rush, 2 to 3 orders of magnitude more traffic than usual, from a marketing push and haven’t ran into any issues yet.
I still run KEDA at home for managing plex, home assistant, some game servers and other of my own projects. But being the only one who is using the cluster is a different use case than getting RBAC, ingress and management set up correctly for a production cluster IMO. I’ve never had the sole responsibility or permission over a cluster before, so it was a daunting step I decided not to take for my own sake
