Kubernetes was our best friend, and everything that come with, Prometheus, Grafana, Harbor, and typically verbose language (Java, Kotlin, Go) (while GCP for example is very NodeJS oriented). ## In start-ups I have the feeling that start-ups should always go, without hesitation into high level cloud technologies, skip the k8s, just go brain-dead technologies, quick and easy to deploy and implement. Silicon Valley mode: fail fast, create and destroy fast, Knuth mode "brute force then optimize". Go Typescript, Go Python, Fuck RUST 😱, Fuck Java (above all)
