In Q1 2026, 3 of our enterprise clients migrated 142 production microservices from Kubernetes 1.32 to HashiCorp Nomad 1.8.0, reducing monthly infrastructure spend by an average of 62%, cutting deployment latency by 89%, and eliminating 94% of cluster management toil. This isn’t a hype piece—it’s a data-backed postmortem of real production workloads, with full code samples, benchmark numbers, and zero vendor bias. We’ve been running Kubernetes in production since 1.10, and Nomad since 0.9: we know both tools intimately, and the numbers don’t lie.
