I really hope this goes through, because the pile of dogshit they sold my municipal government can’t fairly be called code.
It’s astonishing. I will never ever deal with that company if I have the opportunity in the future because of how utterly incompetent they were creating a “microservices architecture” for us which is in effect a series of AWS Lambdas running random Python that do not coordinate, suffer from race conditions, and in many places do not do the thing in the first place.
It’s the second worst code I’ve ever seen. The first was home grown at another public sector job.
The cost for this shit that could have been replaced by a simple Flask app? Or even a well structured, in-lined Python script? $1.5 million. Ongoing costs in the hundreds of thousands per year.
This should be a $20-50/month EC2 instance.
Absolute garbage.
No, I am not underestimating the complexity requirements nor the communication overhead/competing stakeholder interests and all other manner of externalities.
Deloitte belongs in the dust heap.
I know you’re right, because you’re either at one of the top 20 tech companies, and thus know what you’re talking about, or you’re not, and thus all your stuff could run on a good desktop computer.
