I wish everyone could experience this, internalize this. Sometime in my 20's or 30's I cast off any fears that I had about people and the world in general. And it was like a huge weight was left behind.
I started to believe that it was paying too much attention to the news (especially cable news when it became a thing) that had come to shackle me with fear. Getting out in the world, traveling, making yourself vulnerable even (and nixing cable) were all things that made me start to love the world and people more. (My kids know me as the Pollyanna of the family.)
I suppose I am armchair psychologizing now, but I often see fear behind a lot of people's behavior (and even some friend's) and I feel sorry for them: I see them missing out on a lot of life experiences.
Anyway, Americans needed to show off their newly acquired nuclear capabilities. Not to Germans or to Japanese. And not to Italians. It was needed to demonstrate their superiority to Soviet Union without bombing the Soviet Union.
As someone else's here already posted out, military heads made it clear that bombing Japan was not needed for their surrender.
None else had gone that far with nuclear energy and bombs. Likely.
IMHO it was needed for something else much more political.

"The United States believed that ending the war with an atomic bombing would help prevent the Soviet Union from extending its sphere of influence."
There's thousands of helm charts available that allow you to deploy even the most complicated databases within a minute.
Deploying your own service is also very easy as long as you use one of the popular helm templates.
Helm is by no means perfect, but it's great when you set it up the way you want. For example I have full code completion for values.yaml by simply having "deployment" charts which bundle the application database(s) and application itself into a single helm chart.
You can't just "jump into" kubernetes like you can with many serverless platforms, but spending a week banging your head to possibly save hundreds of thousands in a real production environment is a no-brainer to me.
