Oh god this was a trigger. Had one guy just casually demand that we change our middleware layers out because it would be “more performant”. Our middleware that was rock solid, never had any issues, and no one ever noticed. He brought up how it would shave so much time, like maybe a ms or 2 when I read through what he proposed. Sure, let’s just throw out what’s been working for years without issue for a new, untested version that will take weeks to dev and test for a payout of 2 ms per request.
