Our solutions architect is like this. Not because we’re working on anything important at the moment, but because we keep pushing back important upgrades further and further, making each day a more challenging operation to keep our rickety-ass distributed monolith alive.
We were supposed to upgrade from Java 8 on Springboot 2.1 to 17 on Springboot 3. That got wiped off the table because the bosses think shoving our inefficient solution into a cloud product is what will attract customers.
I’m not too familiar with Spring, so excuse my ignorance, but could you sell Spring Cloud ✨ to management? If I understood the docs correctly, Spring Cloud requires Springboot 3, so you can migrate to Springboot 3 while management can claim that your monolith is very cloud. Or is this a “dump it in ec2 and claim it’s cloud” situation?
Dump it into ec2-type lol. It’s not a product that can or should be cloud native without becoming a security nest of hornets for customer cybersecurity departments.

Do we work for the same company lol
Likely not, but I’m happy and sad that this seems to be a common scenario.
