My concern is I'm an Android dev. and I'm trying to use best practices because I don't know what can come up.

If prod goes down for a few days it's mostly OK since I have only one alpha user. But some idea of bad things™ might happen is holding me back from developing the app. I'm not feeling confident about my prod env if I find some customers.

> Where do you store your state on the server? I don't understand what you mean. I guess we're talking about the database. DB also is deployed as the part of the docker compose stack, volume bound to a local dir.

> What can kubernetes do that you can't do by hand assuming you are available to do it? Automating the process of deployments are easier than doing it by hand. Since code needs to be compiled I cannot use the old but gold ftp method. Even if I manage it, it's too much of a hassle. Instead I'm using Github Actions to build my image using Spring's container image builder magic. k8s would allow me to put all of my "stuff" to same place (a cluster)

Two of the servers costs in total 5 Euros now :D
