> One of the great drawbacks of "Cloud Native Computing" as it now exists is that it's really, really complicated. It is often more complicated than the old, non-cloud, sort of computing. In order to deploy your app outside of Minerva you now need to know something about k8s, or Cloud Formation, or Terraform.

Highly agree with this. I think it's very underappreciated in startups that if you want people to deploy a lot of small services you have to make that really super easy. I always thought that the value of things like Spark is that you can run "things" without having to worry about how they run. K8s is similar but much more complex. AWS Lambda is nice but also comes with a lot of baggage at scale. I always wanted to try something like Dapr, which seems to provide a very opinionated happy path for application development.
