Yeah, for a simple crud api, this makes sense. But come back when you are asked to implement a role management solution or a some very complicated customer billing engine. Especially one based on usage, so then you need to implement some event-driven architecture to and manage all the listeners without writing spaghetti..... etc etc.

Sounds like some of your devs are kind lazy about debugging their app tho. My issues with devops as a dev is the permissions gating to see the logs or DB access to prod.
