I agree.

Ultimately I think it's just another leaky abstraction like so many other things we do. Wonderful when it works as intended and less so when it goes wrong.

I also think that the more layers of software and management you add in makes it more complicated to troubleshoot, you simply get a lot more to learn in order to understand things.

One of my life philosophies is "It's always more complicated", meaning when you think you understand something you've barely just started scratching the surface of the complexity of it.

I can understand the pull of the container and lambda style workflows, you gain feature velocity which is ultimately what gains you the business. On the flip side, I also suspect that it builds technical debt faster.
