I don't think we disagree, it's just that we soon won't be allowed to physically store our data on the same servers because the EU deems it too risky. A couple of years ago you could operate 600 energy plants from the same few servers, but by January 2024 that will no longer be legal. Aside from that, we're now entering a world where you need to do comply with regular audits on data field levels as well as an explosion of access roles. I'm not sure how you would manage that in a traditional centralized data store, you probably could, but we do it with OPA and once you do that, there is no difference between using a monolith or micro services because it all goes through the central policies. You could argue that the energy sector is a bit of a special case, but it's even sticter in anything related to the financial sectors.
