These two have resonated with me deeply.
- Eliminated complex caching workarounds and data pipeline overhead
- Simplified architecture from distributed system to straightforward application
We, as developers/engineers (put whatever title you want), tend to make things complex for no reason sometimes. Not all systems have to follow state-of-the-art best practices. Many times, secure, stable, durable systems outperform these fancy techs and inventions.
Don't get me wrong, I love to use all of these technologies and fancy stuff, but sometimes that old, boring, monolithic API running on an EC2 solves 98% of your business problems, so no need to introduce ECS, K8S, Serverless, or whatever.
Anyway, I guess I'm getting old, or I understand the value of a resilient system, and I'm trying to find peace xD.
