Man, I wish I could give you more upvotes for this sentiment. Making the decision to put the livelihood of a company on any platform is not to be taken lightly. As an SRE I feel like I have to take a slightly conservative approach to new technologies.

Do me a favor and pay it forward. When technology decisions are made, look at them with a conservative eye. Make absolutely sure the technology selected is being selected for the right reasons (ie not resume driven development, premature optimization, culture signaling, or because it's "new" it must be better). It'll pay dividends for whomever has to operate it, as well as the business.
