Kubernetes benefits medium-to-large scale containerized workloads. For a single monolithic app, the negatives outweigh the benefits of using Kubernetes by a large margin.

For your use case, a hosted application service would be recommended. If you prefer having more control, rolling your own EC2 infrastructure would be the next best recommendation.
