Excellent advice! I recently worked at a company where the "architect" insisted on using Broadway and Kafka for what should have been basic CRUD operations.

He got fired.



That's refreshing to see. In a lot of startups he would've been promoted to some high level position, hired dozens of engineers to maintain the new monster and then invited to an AWS conference to brag about how they solve their (self-inflicted) problems, all while the business is bleeding money in cloud bills and engineer salaries.
