Likely Normal

Your infrastructure grows like a beautiful garden in the cloud, except all the gardeners quit five years ago, and now you’re staring at a jungle of services wondering “What monster have we created?” The comic nails it: after a decade in AWS, your team’s collective knowledge of how any of this actually works has evaporated faster than a free-tier credit. That “temporary” EC2 instance from 2014? It’s now the beating heart of your operations, maintained by pure hope and the ghost of an ex-employee’s SSH key.

The real kicker? When you finally decide to leave AWS, you realize no one knows how to untangle the spaghetti of IAM policies, VPC peering, and that one Lambda function literally named “DO_NOT_TOUCH_OR_EVERYTHING_BREAKS”. Documentation? Oh, you mean the filename that said “Bob set this up—ask him”? Too bad Bob’s now living his best life farming alpacas in Peru. Lesson learned: The cloud doesn’t just host your apps—it hostages your sanity.

So here you are: a decade of innovating at scale later, and your migration plan is just a team of devs Googling “how to AWS” while the CFO sobs into the bill.
