Sisyphus

Push the boulder that is your software up the hill. Every terrace ships a release and every release adds a module, so the boulder grows; every module rots (drifting dependencies, flaky tests, deprecated APIs, advisories that spread), and rot makes it heavy. Modules use one another, so one outage spreads; patch, retire or refactor to keep up, and rest when he tires. At the summit the next major version ships, the platform reaches its end of life, and it all rolls back down, where a cairn records the climb. Built on the Strata engine.
