Have always felt the same.
I’ve seen an entire company proudly proclaim a modern multicore Xeon with 32GB RAM can do basic monitoring tasks that should have been possible with little more than an Arduino.
Except the 32GB Xeon was far too slow for their implementation...
Let me guess: database tables with no indexes, full scans everywhere?
I swear, before I finished reading your comment, this thought jumped into my mind: ‘oh my, they do host everything with a computer similar to my [pretty old by the way, but still beefy] for-work computer! Impressive!’
Which is, I still believe is perfectly possible to do.
Then, I was ‘what?!’
How did they implement it? That's horrendous.
