I.e. we currently run 3.11 and will now schedule work to upgrade to 3.12, which is expected to be more or less trivial for most services.
The rationale is that some of the (direct and transitive) dependencies will take a while to be compatible with the latest release. And waiting roughly a year is both fast enough to not get too much behind, and slow enough to expect that most dependencies have caught up with the latest release.
So we've made it configurable to run some instances with Pypy - which was able to work through the data in realtime, i.e. without generating a lag in the data stream. The downside of using pypy was increased memory usage (4-8x) - which isn't really a problem. An actually problem that I didn't really track down was that the test suite (running pytest) was taking 2-3 times longer with Pypy than with CPython.
A few months ago I upgraded the system to run with CPython 3.11 and the performance improvements of 10-20% that come with that version now actually allowed us to drop Pypy and only run CPython. Which is more convenient and makes the deployment and configuration less complex.
That said, the article does come off a bit as trying to be authoritative, but at the same time it doesn't leave enough room for possibilities where alternative approaches may have merit as well (i.e. "this is how to do it" vs. "what worked well for us, ymmv"). Newbies that read this article will think that the principles described are the canonical way and even try and apply them in scenarios where alternatives may prove superior.
Other than that, a lot of good advice, well done!

System architecture on the other hand describes the different applications/services that compromise a system, including the ones that you write yourself, plus the ones that you just "use", e.g. database, storage, load balancer, etc.
I would argue that the article mostly talks about system architecture with focus on storage and I guess the parent you replied to would too.
We're having about 3TB of PostgreSQL data on 4 servers. It works very well for us.
We're always looking for talented software engineers who join us to develop our backend/data heavy SaaS in the marketing/adwords area.
We're a small team (~8 devs) working mostly with Python and big Postgresql deployments, as well as quite a significant amount of javascript in the frontend.
We offer a friendly atmosphere, competitive pay, competent co-workers, no overtime, in the center of Berlin! We'd love to hear from you!
