The case for boring technology

Every team has a fixed budget for novelty. Spend it on the part of the system that makes you different, and buy the rest off the shelf.

Novelty compounds too

A new datastore is not one decision; it is a decision plus every hiring conversation, runbook and 3am page that follows. Proven technology comes with answers already written down by people who are not on your payroll.

Choose boring infrastructure so you can afford an interesting product.
