I think the author has a point with one-way doors slowing down the adoption of distributed systems. The best way to build two way doors is to push for industry adoption of a particular API. In theory the backend of these APIs matter little to me, the developer, so long as they are fast and consistent. Some examples that come to mind is that Apache Beam is a "programming model" for Data pipelines, Akka is a "programming model" for stateful distributed systems, OpenTelemetry for logging/telemetry, and Kubernetes for orchestration. Oh, and local development is a strong preference.

It boggles my mind that people accept architectures where the only dev story is a duplicate cloud instance of the required services.

Being able to bring the whole application up locally should be an absolute non-negotiable.

We are back to timesharing days, in better clothing, and that is non negotiable from management point of view.
