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.

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.
