Agreed, though it’s also a monstrous effort to get devs to stop chucking everything into JSON, or my new favorite hell, serializing entire classes and storing them as a BLOB.
It’s my fervent belief that we should revert to specialized roles, with a DB team designing schema and queries based on a team’s needs, who can access them via API only. Slows down velocity? Yes. Faster queries and more efficient use of resources? Yes. Fewer incidents and better referential integrity? Also yes.
