- Hands-on guide - developing and deploying Node.js apps in Kubernetes - This guide is well put together, very readable, appears to have just the right details, but as I read it the same feeling that always occurs when I read a Docker/Kubernetes tutorial occurs, at some point you start wondering how far down the rabbit hole you are, each step makes sense and I can see how it would be super useful but also so many layers of complexity have been added, it's like they've added an entire OS inside the OS that you are already running, sure it looks slick when it's working, but what happens when something stops working and you are deep in the woods - Anyway I like that Kubernetes is open source, but I worry about everything being reliant on Docker, what happens if they start having issues?
