It feels like DB technology is catching up to the cloud era. Back in the 2000s it was common for entire products to effectively be written as stored procedures, which carried a lot of benefits when it came to data consistency and performance. I'd bet good money that if Oracle didn't charge a C round, and it was easy to scale out RDBMSs with HA in the cloud that this era wouldn't have ended. Now that we have managed, fast distributed SQL DBs, with high availability - I wouldn't be surprised to see companies moving more logic back to the DB.
