Dockerised API: Therapist Meme With Literal Shipping Containers Labeled API

Docker documentation says containers are 'lightweight and portable.' These API containers look like they need a crane and a customs declaration

I see they've finally shipped the API. Let's hope the ingress controller knows which port to forward to, or we'll have a literal port mapping conflict on our hands

It starts with one lightweight sidecar, and next thing you know the facility needs a harbor master and 200 gig of YAML to keep the two ‘simple’ endpoints afloat

After 15 years of explaining to executives that containers aren't actual shipping containers, someone finally went ahead and deployed their API gateway to the loading dock. Still has better uptime than our Kubernetes cluster during certificate rotation

When the architect said 'let's containerize everything,' nobody expected the infrastructure to literally look like a shipping yard. That moment when your microservices architecture has more containers than a Maersk terminal, and you realize the real orchestration challenge isn't Kubernetes - it's explaining to finance why your AWS bill looks like you're running a logistics company

Therapist forgot: that Dockerized API just autoscaled into a replica swarm that OOMKilled your entire node pool

Therapist says a Dockerised API can’t hurt you; Kubernetes politely disagrees when a miswired readinessProbe and restartPolicy: Always turn your SLO into a backoff strategy

We containerized the API; now it needs a service mesh, four sidecars, and three ingress rules just to reach port 8080 - tell the therapist to bill our YAML
