Every decision in business is a challenge. I'm still in the process of creating. It's hard to say. On the one hand, I’ve wanted it for a long time, on the other hand, I don’t want someone to be at the blast furnace and order me around. When my friend started, he didn’t know anything and found kubernetes consulting services and used https://itsvit.com/services/devo... for this. I will also probably attend consultations. They definitely won’t be superfluous, they will only give me more experience.
