      Probably a crappy one, and it was easier to blame the infrastructure instead of agree the idea was crap to begin with.

        But then why did they recover once they moved back to a monolith?

        He’s not really blaming the infrastructure as such either. More the fact that they were trying to do it with 4 engineers. I would definitely blame the infrastructure too though. They didn’t have microservices, they had a distributed monolith.

        It’s some inventory management SaaS btw.

          Just sounds like bad code in general. And then hindsight when redoing it. It’s always easier to build something again again.
