Google cosplay is not business-critical
(programming.dev)
Transcription: a Twitter thread from Gary Bernhardt.
- You, the one who is reading this! You don't need Kubernetes!
- Also microservices.
- Also queues that are separate from your primary database (for most apps).
- Google cosplay is not business-critical.

I've been migrating one of my company's apps from microservices back to monolithic Java. It's wonderful. I haven't touched a line of yaml in weeks.
Currently migrating a massive monolithic Java application to microservices... The circle of life continues.
Want to just swap jobs in ~5 years to keep the cycle going? You can migrate this project back to a Java monolith and I'll migrate your monolith back to micros :D
Honestly this just sounds like periodically refactoring everything to remove cruft can be a good thing. Also, it helps you understand how the existing code works if you change it and not break everything.
