still waiting for them to roll out GCP ๐Ÿ˜”
FWIW, choosing Kubernetes seems like a no-brainer, yet at the cost of declarativeness of the config and easier maintenance you ultimately end up with less stable setup. ๐Ÿคจ I guess doing dist-sys on top of dist-sys has that side effect.

FYI tinybird.co is Clickhouse underneath and runs as serverless SaaS on GCP. We provide Ingest/Notebooks/ApiPublishing as a developer experience rather than cluster-as-a-service, so it's a slightly different focus tho

@Rauan Mayemir I often feel like we are the only company in the world not building on K8s (yet), but whenever I look at it, it seems like so much complexity for not that much return...
It is a bit funny they are not on GCP yet, I thought one of Clickhouse founders is ex-GCP

what do you do then? when I was completely fed up dealing with flaky k8s setups, Iโ€™ve tried going with basic instances only to realise Iโ€™d rather deal with k8s

so far Docker, AMIs and Pulumi work for us. I doubt it will be enough forever, but I want to have someone with k8s experience on the team before we move there.

We have been using k8s from start in our company and i strongly feel it is the future and widely used. k8s is complex but very scalable and flexible (we don't create any ec2 instance for deployment now). I guess you are doing right by picking stack that works for you now. Plus if. someone comes with knowledge that saves lot of time in moving to k8s. This is great article, thanks for sharing.
