Either the MVP will take too long to build or you’ll find out that you ended up over-engineering certain parts of the system and drown in complexity and tech debt.
But this tradeoff doesn’t need to exist anymore. We’re seeing cloud architectures start to converge more and more, around tools like gRPC and kubernetes.
I feel like I live on a completely different planet than this person, because gRPC, kubernetes, and schemas that generate schemas is NOT how I would improve velocity or scale. I appreciate the article though, it was a good read.
