    In defense of those startups, I’m sure most of are doing it because theyve got organizational PTSD from beeing places be too fucked to be able to update their architecture rather than just overeagerness.

      Well yeah, but you don’t solve that by layering more complexity on top of it. If you can’t yet release your code onto five servers without breaking the world for all users, you’re not yet into a place where you need fifteen microservices. Google didn’t have Kubernetes or Borg when they started out either; they had servers held together with Lego blocks because that’s what they happened to have.
