I've appreciated many of the modern tooling but as things have matured, I'm convinced the industry has lost the plot. As days wear on, I'm increasingly disliking the complexity these tools have bought and often times see them solving problems that never existed. With that said, I'll echo your sentiment "Everything gets SO FRICKIN' COMPLEX these days, even the very simple things." Nomad is now perhaps my only favored tool for container deployments/some orchestration. I also long for the days for the original container ... the folder! Put everything you need in and zip it up. instantly shareable and no spaghetti tooling needed to run it. The OS told you everything you needed to know about the process. I also oppose (my personal opinion) the trend to want to scale things crazy to numbers. I wholly believe on doing more with less. The company infrastructure stack I currently harbor admiration and put them on the pedestal is StackOverflow. Last I checked in 2021 it still ran on 4 MSSQL servers and 9 IIS servers with a few satellite services. Could easily be 4 MYSQL servers and 9 HTTPD servers.
