LedgerStore became a case study for DynamoDB, and system design publications keep praising it to this day. But the design was abandoned 3 years after it went live.

As a SWE and now AIE, time and again I see examples where a success is really a failure costing a company millions or billions in lost revenue.

The scariest part for me isn't that Uber got it wrong though. It's that the engineering community still remembers the design as a success.
We're getting disinformed about system design, and nobody seems to notice.
