Solid point. I donated to Bernie Sanders when he first ran for president, and I have been spammed to death ever since. It felt like I was being punished. I never gave them another dime.

Completely unrealistic. The monolith is not retiring, it’s just getting stuffed into a docker image and saying “Hello, fellow micro services!”, while achieving a fraction of the old uptime because you’re also trying to run Oracle or MSSQL on AWS using EBS as the underlying storage, and none of those components were designed for that use case.
