I shunned k8s for a long time because of the complexity, but the managed options are so much easier to use and deploy than pet servers that I can’t justify it any more. For anything other than truly trivial cases, IMO kubernetes or (or similar, like nomad) is easier than any alternative.
The stack I use is hosted Postgres and VKS from Vultr. It’s been rock solid for me, and the entire infrastructure can be stored in code.
