         | These "stacks" ONLY work if you are building hobbyist apps, or
         | if you want to sell services. A fast-moving product company has
         | many better alternatives that are probably far more tailored to
         | their business objectives and team composition.

         | Maintaining these things in production for many years is often
         | painful and cumbersome. Moreover, they usually are introduced
         | by a single person who has a lot of enthusiasm to maintain it,
         | but when that person leaves all hell breaks loose. Even more
         | fun is when the underlying infrastructure provider decides to
         | deprecate an API that requires a ton of bespoke fixes (e.g.
         | Netlify's Next.js edge plugin which recently had a behind-the-
         | scenes change to how Lambdas are spun up causing bugs with
         | state leaking between requests).
         | 
         | With that said, it's good to explore new technologies. I just
         | wish these sorts of posts (which are thinly veiled product
         | marketing/tutorials) would expand to actual direction/feedback
         | about how to use new tools in production effectively.
