The unsaid part is that this kind of situation is everywhere. It only really hits home when (IMO) when you’ve had a couple of decades in the industry. We have totally squandered the abundance of resources in many sites/situations/use-cases. Whether it be IOPS or threads or memory or network bandwidth and latency. Yes premature optimisation is the root of all evil, but the other side of that coin is pretty ugly looking too. Not even because of monetary waste in many cases, but because of unnecessary complexity and fragility. For what? A slightly higher level of abstraction? A bit more interoperability? A marginal gain in some other metric?
