Paul Butler, founder of Jamsocket, discusses how to identify necessary vs unnecessary complexity in Kubernetes and explains how his team successfully runs production workloads by being selective about which features they use.

You will learn:

- Why to be cautious with features like CRDs, StatefulSets, and Helm and how to evaluate if you really need them.
- How to stay on the "happy path" in Kubernetes by focusing on stable and simple resources like Deployments, Services, and ConfigMaps.
- When to consider alternatives like Google Cloud Run for simpler deployments that don't need the full complexity of Kubernetes.
