As long as hype chasers in middle management don't get in the way after convincing themselves they too must be like FAANG with a few orders of magnitude less of a consumer base.

the middle management especially half cooked engineers who drank the cool aid and became managers are hard to reason with.

They want to be both the architect and the manager and anything you say would be over ruled and since they are the boss its hard to ignore them.

This service is a monolith because it has 10K code and it needs to be broken up.The product is at MVP and its rock solid on Java Spring and it hardly crashes. We are never going to lose data based on the design choices we made. None of that matters.

We need zero down time upgrade, when we had zero customers.

When I do work for my clients I usually bypass that level.
