Oof. I knew it was going to happen, but people thinking boq/pod are good rather than actually killing the company makes me pretty sad.

Boq/PoD merely standardizes production deployments. You can choose to not do it, and end up having to redo everything yourself. The vast majority of all services uses it perfectly fine.

Unified rollouts, unified versioning, universal dashboards, security compliance, standardized quota management, standard alert configs. It's opinionated, but I can drop into any team and hit the ground running. I don't want to learn your custom dashboards doing the exact same thing with different names.

The issue with PoD is that it's a great concept and implementation that's tight on resources, and doesn't have much of a plan to expand beyond its current paradigm. The P2020 team deserves way more recognition for all the work they have done.

Please tell me how you think Boq is killing the company.
