Your app is not Netflix. Stop building like it is.

A developer's job is to find the simplest solution to a problem. But being simple is actually harder than it sounds.

So why are you over-engineering everything ?

Let me introduce you to Toto.

Toto just finished a great training program. He learned architecture, good practices, microservices, DevOps with Kubernetes, Jenkins, the whole thing. Now Toto has to build an app for a client probably under 1,000 users.

But Toto builds a microservice for every feature. Multiple databases. A massive CI/CD pipeline. He thinks he is doing the right thing. But he is not. He does not need any of that.
