I feel like an entire generation of devs have been weirdly brainwashed by cloud to believe that a ton of things need to be very complex and expensive.

Of course it’s also a zero interest rate phenomenon. We are exiting a >10 year era when the name of the game was simply to grow and anything in your way could be dealt with by just throwing money at it. Nobody cared about cost as long as growth numbers went up.
