Seriously. I feel like 99% of the work I do in Micro-Service/Event-Driven/etc systems could realistically be a few CGI scripts hooked connected to a DB via DBI. It's sort of ironic how people often call Perl "overly complicated" or "confusing" then justify 100+ service clusters using K8's and AWS to serve 1000 users/day. AdventOfCode handles a few million users per day during the weeks it's active, all powered by a few FastCGI scripts, it's still really good technology.
