Personally the next-gen-ness of an infrastructure component is inversely proportional to my trust in it.

  Especially for something handling data. I want an old, battle tested solution that won't disappear when the VC capital dries up

Why use a dedicated tool if you have something in your stack that can solve the problem already? The less separate pieces of infrastructure you can run, the less likely something will break that you don't know how to easily fix. The article touched on this in the list of things to avoid when it said "I estimate each line of terraform to be an order of magnitude more risk/maintenance/faff than each line of Python" and "The need for expertise in anything beyond Python + Postgres"
