I got invited to an enterprise architecture brainstorming session and they wanted to know my opinion about the multi-cloud, multi-repo, ETL-pipeline-driven reporting solution they had cooked up.. with two separate Kubernetes clusters included.

I suggested that a column store index and a PowerBI report is literally all they needed.

Didn't get invited to the next meeting, all further communications were silently ignored.

Engineers. Penny-wise and pound-foolish.

I don't think this is really the issue at play here. Rather the engineers wanting to work with Kubernetes, cloud, and other stuff that's hyped, instead of a boring solution that works.
