I spent last Tuesday staring down a production outage. A misconfigured ingress controller had silently dropped our rate-limiting annotations during a Helm upgrade, and traffic was spiking a critical service into the ground. While I was manually rolling back releases and checking pod logs, my CTO pinged me on Slack: "Why aren't we using Devin for this yet? Or should we just let Kubernetes handle itself?" It's 2026, and that question perfectly captures the confusion happening in engineering teams

Kubernetes
Kubernetes is an open-source container orchestration platform that automates the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. It is widely used for cloud-native deployments and microservices architectures. The text notes it is best for container orchestration and scaling, and is free as open-source software.
