The Kubernetes Trap refers to the paradox where teams adopt Kubernetes to make scaling easy, but end up entangled in a web of complexity.
This trap often emerges subtly, where what starts as a well-intentioned move to prepare for scale ends up becoming a full-time job just to maintain stability.
Kubernetes is a powerful tool but it doesn't make an app scalable; it provides the tools to help teams build scalable applications.
When teams dive in without adequate preparation, Kubernetes can become a bottleneck rather than a booster.
