Why mid-market software is often too complex

Microservices for 10 developers. Kubernetes where 95% uptime would be fine. Serverless for a simple CRUD application. Large enterprises share their architecture decisions at conferences — and mid-market companies get the impression they need to apply the same principles.

The consequences: missed opportunities, unprofitable businesses, and growth barriers due to long development times.

Finding the right balance between over- and under-engineering requires years of experience — and personally lived responsibility across a variety of projects. You need someone who knows, understands, and has successfully solved the special challenges of mid-market companies.
