    Cycle.io vs Kubernetes Comments
    Christopher Aubuchon
    Positive

    DevOps has become far too complex. From an ever-growing landscape of open source projects to the cloud services built to manage them, organizations are now suffering under the weight of too much technical debt and upkeep. Technologies, like Kubernetes, adopted with good intentions now stifle innovation more than they accelerate it.

    Most companies don’t require a majority of the features and capabilities that come with platforms like Kubernetes. By staying hyper-focused time and prioritizing quality over quantity, the Cycle platform is able to provide a solid and stable foundation for companies of all sizes without massively increasing technical debt or requiring additional teams to manage it.
