Really nice post.

I got a small setup at home for some local services with docker-compose. Do you think its worth it to switch to k8s with a single node (master)? Or is it to much overhead to maintain it?

hi Martin.. I'd say it depends. If you are hosting it in the Cloud then horizontal scaling is enabled by default and that might be all you need. To me it sounds like it might be overkill but trying it out on a hobby basis is how most of us learn anything
