## AI overview

An account of porting livegrep.com from raw AWS infrastructure to Kubernetes on Google Cloud. The author praises Kubernetes' abstractions, integrated routing and health checks, and simpler configuration, while noting that the platform still has room to mature.

## Source excerpt

I spent a while the last week porting livegrep.com from running directly AWS to running on Kubernetes on Google's Cloud Platform (specifically, the google container engine, which provisions and manages the cluster for me). I left this experience profoundly enthusiastic about the future of Kubernetes. I think that if Google can execute properly, it's clearly the future for how we build distributed applications. That said, it also feels like it has a ways to go yet.
