A lot of these technologies are talked about not because they're cool or hip, but because they actually increase productivity quite significantly. You can build complex architectures with any stack. But what many new technologies enable is building a company with fewer engineers and fewer resources than what was required before.
That said: it's clearly possible to be very productive with old technologies as well. However, I just don't see new companies which need to interact with "legacy" software being run without using some sort of virtualization or containerization technology.
