When marketing interacts with engineering, it never ends well. And serious engineering tech homepage should advertize sincerely the limits and tradeoffs of its tech. That's how engineers work, and it's something sales people will never understand. We trust techs and people because they explain the limits, not in spite of it.
There's no free lunch. Whenever you pick a technology, understand what are the downsides. If you don't see any, then you probably don't know enough. Nosql is cool, unless you start needing transactions or database level data integrity checks ( hints : you always end up needing it at some point). Cloud hosting is cool, until you realize it's way more expensive for your needs, and that network is going to cost you a fortune. Serverless is great, but then what are you going to do to ensure business rules are exactly the same for all your clients, at all times, etc. etc.
