We are currently paying quite much more than I'm used to, and our throughput is a small fraction. I don't mind managed servers, it just that we didn't use to need so much of it. Unix isn't that hard. And Docker containers and CI/CD pipelines open other cans of worms, and since no one seems to understand what is going on under the surface (because no one wants to touch Unix), they just add more monitoring tools and scaling. But we suddenly need five times as many developers because 80% of the code is just dealing with interfaces and communication and handling race conditions and recovering from failed network calls.
