    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.
