Open Stack

Personally I had very bad experiences with stored procedures and
triggers in previous jobs, where the amount of side effects that
occurred and the overall lack of maintainability of triggers and stored
procedures scared me off.

We handed off changes to stored procedures and
triggers to the DBAs, who had a tendency to not apply them correctly or
forget to apply them at a site. Then it was a total nightmare to try and
figure out why things wouldn't work, until we discovered that the
changes to an SP or Trigger wasn't actually applied.

Now, I don't think OpenStack as a project suffers the same
organizational dysfunction as my previous jobs, but just overall they're
hard to debug and maintain and I don't like to use them.
