Ok so if I'm reading this correctly: They migrated from an OS and MySQL version receiving no updates since at least 2 years to MySQL 8.0 which will stop getting updates in 4 days. Also every service is running without any containerization and there is a single database for everything... and it all runs on a single host and I didn't read one word about a backup strategy or disk encryption. Also not a single word about infrastructure as code like ansible so that you can reliably recreate the system... and The whole stuff is hosted in Germany for a Turkish software company - sounds like very good latency.
My personal conclusion: This system WILL fail and the guy who designed it is stuck somewhere 10-20 years in the past.
My personal conclusion:he knows what he's doing.
Sure, though there is a worrying lack of backup and resilience in the described scenario. Has a smell of someone who hasn't been bit yet and not paying attention to best practices in the industry.
I will give a break on some of the things as not necessarily being a 'must', but being hard bound to a singular server strikes me as a disaster waiting to happen.
