It's always the same. Big internet giants having really unique issues: scaling with millions of users at the same time, micro optimizations as they have a big impact because of the scale. So they need to really complicate things like distributed systems, eventual consistency, and unique UX etc. They do a good job about it and want to share it so they publish their story. Now people from other companies read this and think that this is now state of the art and they also should do this. But they don't even have the same issues. I work with a Low Code framework from Oracle (APEX) that literally runs in the database and serves web apps. Want a report and form on a table? Click create new app and xreate page, select the table, customize labels, maybe move things around, maybe change an item from type text field to select list with another query and done in 5 minutes. With lost update detection, easy authorization control, automatic validations for your table constraints, etc. You can still code data processing procedures but why reinvent the wheel for another web UI? People just choose to overengineer backend apps that only 50 people use...
