Yeah, same. I like the silo idea, I'll have to explore that.
I'm relieved to hear this because the LLM hype in this thread is seriously disorienting. Deeply convinced that coding "by hand" is just as defensible in the LLM age as handwriting was in the TTY age. My dopamine system is quite unconvinced though, killing me.
I have a silo’d service that handles file uploads of PDFs, images and so on. It was largely vibe coded.
It sits on an isolated tier and isn’t allowed to persist state or have permanent storage. We wanted to reduce the impact of a security flaw in this code.
We’ve ended up doing similar things for search and for an orchestration tool used for testing. The key thing is it’s non critical so we can live without it.
