Love this post. I’ve been trying to tell my manager the same message for the last few months (with little success).
We’re about to embark on a massive migration to “next-gen infrastructure” (read: three different Redshift clusters managed by CDK) because our overloaded Redshift cluster (already maxed out with RA3 nodes) has melted down one too many times. The next-gen infra is significantly more complex than our existing setup and I’m not convinced this migration will be the silver bullet everyone is hoping for.
