The technology inept organizationally can’t even figure out how to use that 64GB of RAM properly is my point and more RAM won’t fix a full blown table scan on every other query coming in because people don’t have a way to stop queries without limits. However, you can add modern SSDs with millions of IOPS to paper over complete ineptitude at using a free query analyzer in your database. But to myself, inability to bring oneself to use that is about as incompetent as not being able to use a debugger or profiler. I can certainly understand a level of inability when hiring only junior devs or having one’s hands tied when dealing with production systems locked behind compliance and bureaucracy, but all these things are problems that hardware nor more people will fix honestly. And TBF, I am mostly familiar with the guts of technology laggards and they’re adopting K8S at frighteningly fast rates compared to anything else I’ve seen in almost 2 decades. Very common to see pretty smart people familiar with the latest tech yet lacking some serious holes in fundamentals familiar to those with experience.
