Hi everyone, happy Friday! I'm curious, is everyone primarily using k8s? Are any of you running large serverless/Lambda deployments? I'm interested in hearing about your experiences, including the frameworks you're using. I'd like to share some ideas and get feedback from those of you who have successfully managed platform teams with Lambda deployments. Thread your responses or DM me..

Of 18 SaaS products developed in a prior shop, only 1 used K8s (which was purchased as such). The former CTO was trying to push all of the others into 1 mega-cluster, including putting monoliths into containers, but the last I heard that effort failed. We had a sprinkling of Lambda/serverless applications as well as Docker containers in EC2 instances. I was developing a Terraform oriented platform to allow most developers to specify the values for module calls (without much Terraform knowledge) and the Sr developers & cloud team to work together to build those modules. In my current job search, primarily for AWS/Cloud Architect jobs in local non-software companies (although with very large software footprints), I'm seeing mostly EC2, some serverless, some Docker, and mostly vague someday thoughts of K8s (but some of the jobs actually had some). Around this Platform Engineering Slack it seems to mostly be K8s.
Then again, it may be my local market—as Mark Twain supposedly said:
If the world ever comes to an end, l want to be in Cincinnati, because it will happen there ten years later.
