I don’t know, I would not recommend kubernetes to most people not already familiar with it, but especially to beginners. It’s too many moving parts, and fir most selfhosted setups, its capabilities are not needed I think.
Comment on How "heavy" is self-hosting matrix really?

TLDR: bare Synapse was fine on 1CPU 1GB RAM VPS, but uses lots of disk space (from large rooms). Current/future ESS requires Kubernetes and several services to be functional.

Nothing requires kubetnetes. Can you scale with kubetnetes easier? Maybe, but then you’d have to learn kubetnetes. Even super scalers like Netflix ran for decades without kubetnetes and then for other reasons they moved. Self hosters only need kubetnetes if they want to learn it.

It’s possible to run the services without Kubernetes, but official ESS Community uses Kubernetes.
