> One reason I dislike Docker Compose and Docker is lack of isolation. Yes sure if you put your arm deep enough you can get it, but on local k8s I can spin cluster per workspace and not worry about conflicting ports between PostgreSQL instances.

Using Kubernetes because you're unable to grok docker's networking enough so you can't run multiple containers using their own ports and not conflicting with other stuff sounds like a recipe for disaster, even (especially?) if you use agents for this. Particularly if you let them manage a production environment, you're bound to lose important data eventually.

Aah, famous last words of the young :)
