By cut it down I mean, use fewer machines to host it.

I imagine this kind of app is rather monolithic in nature. Maybe a static webapp frontend and then a single backend service? Not much of a point to split it into microservices if there is no real need to independently scale them and you don't have multiple consumers of each independent service. And if you don't need microservices you are probably better off avoiding the overhead of Kubernetes.
