Kubernetes and back - Why I don't run distributed systems

It’s almost outrageous to say that I don’t like distributed systems while working in a company that advertises as being cloud-native, headless and what not. And probably every SRE with some buzzword certifications may think I’m a complete idiot, but hear me out. Roughly a year ago, I decided to switch to a Kubernetes based multi-node environment with one of my side projects. The promise of doing zero-downtime deployments and node maintenance, better scalability and “self healing” if a node goes down sounded too good to not jump on the ever-growing train of tech marketing.
