Python, FastAPI... so you can imagine how something as simple as a CRUD becomes quickly impossible to manage as soon as you ignore everything and start creating repositories, queries, use cases, etc. for a single endpoint.

I agree with you that a minimal implementation should handle it but... someone had wet dreams with DDD and everything has to be DDD now :)

And for something like "translations crud" this shouldn't be required ( which service needs to be updated from a translation update?).

Perhaps that's a perfect example to implement it and push it. ( depends on how far you're willing to go and push back against who)

Look for a fancy name to describe the "pattern" could help.
