It's hard to understand if that is a good or bad profile the way the information is displayed. If you normalize the nutrient by the calories (2000 calories / 158 calories) then it is high in all of the listed nutrients except folate. But still, this is a minority of the vitamins and minerals you need and it is very low in the rest. So it's not an impressive nutrient profile that you would see from a leafy green, an egg yolk, or liver. Here's a visualization: https://eatnutrients.com/sources/sr28/20071
That's before getting into much more complicated issues around digestibility and nutrient binding making some nutrients unavailable. Suffice to say, wheat berries are not a food that humans ever ate when they grew grains: they always performed processing to turn wheat into bread, etc for good reason. It would make more sense to look at the nutrition of a particular whole wheat bread, etc.
The question was How many vitamins are in non-fortified grains, and I chose the wholest of whole grains I could think of. Though I wouldn't expect grinding into whole wheat flour to significantly reduce the nutrient content, unless baking burns some of the nutrients away.
Why wouldn't ancient people have eaten wheat berries, boiling (like in a stew) seems like the easiest way to prepare wheat or other grain like barley

You can probably boil a cup of them and eat them and be fine. But you can find the answer to the question by eating 1000 calories of wheat berries and seeing what happens. It's going to be difficult to digest since we don't have a ruminant digestive tract. Making bread helps further break down the wheat so that it is more digestible. Bread making originally used slow fermentation (instead of quick rising yeast) to maximize this process.
Why would I eat 1000 calories of any food? I wouldn't eat 14 slices of bread or 1.5 lbs of chicken breasts either. But I do eat normal quantities of boiled grains pretty regularly in stews or on a salad.

What a load of bollocks. What vitamins and minerals are lacking in meat? Only one, vitamin C, and there is evidence the RDA for it is much lower if you don't ingest many carbs. The Inuit didn't get scurvy. And in any case vit C heavy plants and fruit are definitely OK on a low carb diet.
And no fibre and phytochemicals (literally "plant chemicals")? It's by design. None of these things are essential, and some find improvement in their autoimmune diseases and digestion when these are reduced or removed altogether. My digestion gets better and better as I approach literally 0g of fibre, provided my carb consumption is low of course. High carb low fibre isn't fun.
Some things are done on purpose so that you consciously know how expensive of an operation you are doing. In languages like Python, it's easy to abuse convenient operations that do a ton of computation. Then you have to spent time with valgrind or something similar and figure out what the heck is causing the code to be so slow.
I imagine that your development velocity with this monolith is enabled by the modularity of your code that was enforced as microservices. This benefit will wane and if you had started with a monolith would be much worse.
