The problems weren’t simplified. The problems were collected together into a single large platform. However, as with most large platforms, they require ceremonies and priests (devops engineers). Someone has to make the offerings. Much as people would like to believe, you don’t reduce complexity, you just shuffle it around and there’s an exchange rate. Even with solutions like Fly.io, you’re not getting rid of complexity in aggregate, you’re paying them to manage it (I.e. the exchange rate).
