KISS actually means, sometimes write it from scratch yourself, which will save you time short-term and teach you great stuff long-term, rather than use the "industry standard". When setting up my current operation, I needed a job scheduling framework. I looked at Airflow, but by the time I had to choose a DB backend and create usernames and set up SMTP server, I gave up. In half a day I knocked together a basic single machine scheduler, which does 5% of what Airflow does. But it does that very well, took me frankly less time than setting up this behemoth, and works really well for my team. Is it better than Airflow, or Prefect, or whatnot? Surely not; but it saved me time and taught me a lot about job scheduling.
