I don't know why but no one hires or listens to the architect who recommends sticking to safe monolithic-esque systems. If you're not talking cloud and microservices and the newest unproven frameworks, you're an old fogey who needs to get with the times. Even though those types of systems are rarely the most efficient, powerful or safe systems
I work for a company that builds software to be used internally by other business. We have like 200 people tops using it simultaneously with no usage spikes, a perfect environment for regular web servers as we'll never have unexpected scaling issues, yet everyone is dying to go to the cloud. Why? I think it's just because our management, programmers and even customers are convinced by cloud provider marketing that the cloud is cool
- misja111 3y agoArchitects that propose pragmatic and boring solutions are usually not hired. It's the emperor's new clothes, companies like the idea of an architect who comes with some revolutionary new concept that will lead to a breakthrough that finally will make everybody rich. If they don't understand the architect's idea, so much the better because then it must be really state of the art.
