@wolf480pl @ryantownsend yeah that happens quite often! Not too long ago a company I worked at was running bare metal and keeping the business going and in a huge multi year scaling initiative, some architects chose to adopt an entirely different stack expecting to run in AWS despite having no experience running in AWS and the stack itself.
In those situations, where there's timeline and technological cliffs that the company is barreling towards, decisions to buy into something you may not understand but gives you the confidence that it *just works* are extremely easy to make.
