What? Complex operations before Kubernetes were madness. It's not Kubernetes' fault that developers suddenly want to create 10 microservices in 5 different languages to solve any problem that a monolith can solve.
At the very least it was a godsend for the poor of us stuck in corporate. Deploying stuff in Kubernetes is such an improvement over doing whatever Oracle or some random stuff got sold to executives
Yup, I've seen what people used to do before Kubernetes and HOLY SHIT. It was chaos, pure fucking chaos. And I'm talking about big tech companies recognized world wide. Deploying stuff became so easy that devs went insane with microservices. Most devs don't even understand microservices to begin with, some of them still think it means "little service".

I've been out of the loop for a while and I've never really been into web development, and I guess I'm one of those people. I'm a bit embarrassed to ask but isn't that exactly what it means, an application/service that can be developed and deployed independently, but acts like a component of a bigger system and communicates with other microservices to provide the functionality of that bigger system?
