Yeah I think there is a lot of truth here. You can't solve all the problems and in Heroku's case we focused on user experience (internally and externally). Great ideas like "git push heroku main" are game changers, but what happens once that git server is receiving 1000 pushes a minute? Totally different thought process.

Perhaps the thing I would add is that even with the tech debt and scaling problems we still had over a million applications deployed ready for that request to hit them.
