well you are missing the point.

the tech details are irrelevant in posts like this. no one, but no one, is throwing down knowledge and insight that anyone and their mama doesn’t know or can’t easily acquire. people just don’t give away their secret sauce that easily.

the 2 points are

a. a recruiting signal. it lets candidates know “we are like you”. we care about the tech stack and what we do. we care about elegant and “good” solutions.

b. it gives company devs a public sounding board. a chance to have a bigger voice than in house obscurity.

if you think these blogs are really about the tech, well then yes they are quite boring.

I guess it's becoming a trend "we moved from here to here" and let's make it to top of HN.

Unless current provider has horrible support/issues which you want to specify to help others, these articles are useless.

HN community making these articles to front page which neither describes architect challenges/scalability challenges is pointless

I found the section on their evaluation of other potential systems like ECS to be interesting - it's something I'm currently considering myself.
