Sometimes I feel like the industry has just given up on solving people problem and is trying to fix stuff with Dockerfiles and yamls..
2000s: outsource to India rather than pay your people
2010s: hire cheap web devs out of school rather than pay your people

I've always been amazed at the kind of money companies will throw at not having to hire a developer. Salesforce is a quarter of a trillion dollar company because they tell management that they won't need to hire any developers and then charge outrageous rates to accomplish simple tasks in the most complicated way possible.
Just not yours, but their designated and certified developers that will stay stuck to Salesforce while your business might come and go. In the first few meetings with SF you'll invariably be presented with a consulting company that will help you deal with the purposedly hot mess that SF integration is.
Then the cycle restarts.
