    I wonder why Russia gets a pass from the left and right on being pretty brutal colonial empire. Even in present day borders Russia is composed of literally hundreds of colonised nations that get exploited and brutalised for the benefit of M

    I have no beef with that as long as BS about values and one family and the like is dropped. I think the only company that handles this +/- honestly is Netflix.

    Those are orthogonal. The only true limitation was absence of horizontally scalable DBMS which is no longer the case.

    The idea that an org that has hard time maintaining a properly structured monolith, will solve it's problems by shifting to building a distributed system was always strange to me.
