The shift started back in the late 2000s when the explosion of NoSQL and AWS made it easier than before for people to pretend they have problems they don't.
Before NoSQL you had to do expensive/difficult stuff like manual database sharding and buying expensive dedicated hardware. Now you can instantly spin up a few instances.
Considering how much easier it is to put the infrastructure in place IF you ever need it, its odd to me how focused on it people seem to be.
- nickdandakis 8y agoThat makes a lot of sense, and if that's the case, I'd chalk it up to advertising for convincing people they _need_ all of this type of infrastructure.
