That is one of my pet peeves with modern development. A lot of things are way too easy to get started with, while very few people understands what is going on. And then when things doesn't work so well, there are even more tools and frameworks that can be deployed without understanding, but that in some ways mitigate the problems. But now it's even more complex, and suddenly there's a team of 20 people maintaining an application that doesn't do much more than moving some files between servers, reading them and saving records in a database. Sorry, not a database, five different types of databases that no one in any of the teams have any deeper understanding of.
