Kubernetes is not always necessary for startups, and they often reach for it prematurely due to misconceptions. Orchestration, fundamentally about managing multiple containers across physical machines, can be achieved without Kubernetes.

However, simpler alternatives can handle orchestration tasks, and startups should carefully consider their real needs before adopting Kubernetes.
