Reviewer scorecard
“The standard for production container orchestration. Managed K8s (EKS, GKE, AKS) removes most operational burden.”
“The API design is a masterclass. Documentation is the best in the industry. If you're building anything that takes payments, Stripe is the default choice and for good reason.”
“Massively over-engineered for 90% of workloads. Most teams would be better served by simpler deployment platforms.”
“Pricing is higher than competitors but the reliability and feature set justify it. The AI fraud detection alone pays for the premium. You can't put a price on not dealing with chargebacks.”
“The API model Kubernetes established is becoming the universal infrastructure abstraction layer.”
“Stripe is quietly becoming the financial infrastructure for the internet. Atlas, Treasury, Issuing — they're building the operating system for internet businesses.”
