I think this was already said, but most of what you’ve written here is infrastructure tooling.
Here’s my personal anecdote - for what it’s worth. I’m writing application and service code in Java and C++, mostly using the same libraries I’ve been using for the past 5-7 years.
All of my storage is using Postgres, and for some data crunching use cases, I’ve been using Kinesis, SQS, and SNS, along with two hosts running Spark.
Most of it is pretty boring, which I think is a good thing.
I was writing web pages in HTML in the late 90s and began using MySQL with PHP for the server by the early 2000s. In the last 20 or so odd years, the front end stack has had endless churn and complexity. I’d like to say C++ is insanity, but it feels tame compared to the expansive web stack… all just to create websites.
