This is my experience. As I have said elsewhere, perhaps I am unlucky and work with "bad" developers, but everything being built for the future at $COMPANY is over complicated and has a multitude of abstractions.

Honestly, for most software, a well performant "monolith" is probably enough.

We had one service that had a single-thread bottleneck that none of the developers could configure out - the solution was to spin up 30x more virtual machines to run instances of this app to meet average production demand.
