Agreed, but would most engineers understand that they can keep the simplicity of the solution if the underlying infrastructure is based in the cloud/serverless/etc?

Fro my limited experience many engineers fall in the trap of adding accidental complexity to an otherwise simple architecture just by trying to use the latest/coolest cloud architecture trend.

Monolith in the cloud on kubernetes? Speak no such abomination. Of course we have to do microservices, the more the better. How can we scale otherwise?

SQL DB? What is this, 2010? Of course we're going to use Cosmos DB, how else could we get "single-digit millisecond response times, automatic and instant scalability, along with guarantee speed at any scale".

Of course I'm exaggerating for dramatic effect but I rarely see teams disciplined enough to keep cloud architectures simple and clean.
