Right I'm not advocating for one over the other, I was just explaining issues solved by microservices. Now instead of the OOM Killer taking your service down, you have a flaky NIC on another microservice box and now you need to figure out how to gracefully degrade.

I love working with microservices at the scale of $WORK, but we're Big Tech. I can't imagine why a 5 person startup would want k8s and microservices. You don't need that scale until you have more than 2 teams, and you're pushing at the very least 15 engineers at that point and usually the sales and marketing staff to make that investment worth it.
