I really hate overengineered cloud infrastructure. It's the 2020s equivalent of 1990s to early 2000s enterprise Java except it's "use every conceivable cloud service in as baroque a deployment as possible" instead of "use every single design pattern in every part of the program."

I refer to software built this way as "write once run once" as in it's so complex it could barely be redeployed and might not even be possible to restart. "Write once run once" is a play on the old "write once run anywhere" tagline for Java.

But hey it makes Amazon rich. Amazon figured out how to monetize the tendency of sophomore engineers to add as much complexity as possible. I bet the authors of the original 1994 design patterns book are kicking themselves for not finding a way to charge for every implementation of the factory pattern.
