IaC in various forms has been around for a while now though. I’m guessing it’s going to take more drill downs like the one you did before it’s common practice though.

The specific protocol is much less important than the constellation of domain functionality, the delegation of operational responsibility, and the statelessness forcing function.
This requires being transparent about the objectives you have in mind and the tradeoffs you’re willing to make with the illusion of foresight you’re working with.
There will be other tradeoffs that only emerge after part of the journey has been made and that’s just how it goes.
