I think I'm understanding a lot of the structures at this point but I'm still inexperienced enough with the platform that it's too easy to break. Good thing I'm already very familiar with Docker.

(and I've been telling myself Docker/Kubernetes will surely be easy enough to pick up on the job...)

Yeah, I think it's overkill unless you have 20+ nodes. When I switched from just a few VPSs with containers deployed with docker-compose, to deploying and administering a highly-available k8s cluster of 9 nodes, I'm pretty sure our cumulative uptime actually went down. There's ironically more points of failure that can bring stuff down due to the extra complexity.

Its a huge learning curve, but once it clicks and you get it running you'll never want to go back.

Try Talos. It’s not easier but much more stable and foolproof.
