I have worked at FAANGs before.

I am in firm agreement. I think that far too many people are trying to solve the problems that they wish that they had, rather than making it easy to solve the ones that they do have. Going to something like Kubernetes when there is no particular reason for it is a good example of that trend.

When you really need distributed, there is no substitute. But far more think that they need it than do.
