Business professionals often revisit the KISS principle, commonly referred to as 'Keep It Short & Simple,' when tackling complexities within corporations and conglomerates. This principle serves as a reminder that we often overcomplicate things unnecessarily.
When business operations become needlessly complex, it is no surprise that the flow of information becomes convoluted, especially as the business grows. Software-as-a-service (SaaS) companies often find themselves trapped in situations where their offerings struggle to scale or become confined to specific industry verticals, limiting growth opportunities.
The Complexity Challenge
As frameworks become ingrained in client solutions, there's little room for innovation and growth. Even simple tasks like managing API requests become hardwired to specific database access points, straining infrastructure and slowing response times.
To break free from the cycle of complexity, it's essential to remain agile and incorporate readily available solutions that simplify processes. While you may understand your customers' needs well, tasks like designing the API Gateway don't need to be handled by your core team, especially when off-the-shelf solutions are readily available.
