I think that's a very fair point, but wouldn't that be true even if Shipt hadn't made any changes? It feels to me like the problem wasn't the change. For all we know, the change was a net good thing. The bad thing was th

I know I don't understand the domain at all , but I'm surprised that in this day and age you'd want a distributed system to do railway design. What aspect of the problem makes it unsuitable for running in a single process?

As you point out though, the data does exist. It just tends to be more ephemeral. There's some question as to whether the ephemeral aspect of it is more feature or bug.
