In my mind this is a lot more about tooling and platform than language, library, architecture, etc.

I have a project that’s quite complicated and built on fast-moving tech, but with every element of the build locked down and committed in SCM: Dockerfiles, package sets, etc.

Alternatively, one of my older projects uses very stable slow-moving tech. I never took the time to containerize and codify the dependencies. It runs as an appliance and is such a mess that it’s cheaper to buy duplicates of the original machine that it ran on and clone the old hard drive rather than do fresh installs.
