I remember reading an article years ago about how a company was running rings around its competition because they were releasing features faster and more effectively, due to their choice to use Lisp as their language. Of course a competitor who tried to pivot to Lisp was unlikely to have the same results - the specific language choice was not nearly as important as the fact that the founders were already experts in Lisp.

The point being, Kubernetes is easily the right choice for a start-up if you have a Kubernetes expert on the team (and the rest of the team is willing to put the time in learning the system and not just cargo-culting around it)
