- Your current cloud / PaaS costs are north of $5,000/month - You have at least two developers who are into the idea of running Kubernetes and their own infrastructure and are willing to spend some time learning how to do so

So you will spend 150k+/year (2 senior full stake eng salaries in EU - can be much higher, esp for people up to the task) to save 60k+/y in infra costs?

Does not compute for me - is the lock-in that bad?

I understand it for very small/simple use cases - but then do you need k8s at all?

It feels like the ones who will benefit the most is orgs who spend much more on cloud costs - but they need SLAs, compliance and a dozen other enterprisy things.

So I struggle to understand who would benefit from this stack reclaim.
