Yes, but also it wasn't really a codebase? It was a compilation of Ansible roles, perl and bash scripts who all made sense and worked with each other, but it wasn't like a singular application. You still had to manually write your json configuration and then execute the Ansible that called the right scripts.

I think the reason it was good is that nothing was too integrated. You had of course scripts who integrated multiple others (mostly Ansible roles tbh), and that could be complex to understand, but everything else was great.

So: keep everything small?
