I'm sure you know what you're taking about -- yet, your response reminds me of [VIDEO] "drizzle works on the edge"

The FUNDAMENTAL aspect and nature of ALL Software Engineering is: "Controlling Complexity" I dare say its the most important part of the "Engineering" in software engineering. 'Cognitive Load' is another way of saying this.. 1. programming => wiring shit together and something happens 2. software engineering => using experience, skills and user and fellow engineer empathy to iterate toward a sustainable mass of code that makes something happen in a predictable way It is exceedingly difficult to do this right and even when you do it right, what was right at one time becomes tomorrow's 'Chesterton's Fence' ( [LINK] ) , but I have worked on projects and code where this was achieved at least somewhat sustainably (usually under the vision of a single, great developer). Unfortunately the economics of modern development means we let the tools and environments handle our complexity and just scrap and rewrite code to meet deadlines.. I mean look at the state of web development these days [VIDEO]

Yes, some K8s operators to cost your deployments so you can auto scale based on ROI of a microservice instead of raw utilization. No point in spending on five nines if nobody will even pay for two. It’s all straight out of “programmers are also human” [VIDEO]
