    I can offer some constructive tips to you as well: dont speak for all of us.

    I liked the article. I didn’t interpret it as “everyone must do what I say”. It was simply a viewpoint from a person on the internet. That is what a blog is.

    The complexity of tech stacks have increased enormously in the last 10 years, and it’s only sane to see what tradeoffs we are making to be able to scale easily. Perhaps it’s not worth the trouble for 90% of us. If we follow best practice from cloud providers without thinking for ourselves, we will not learn to think for ourselves either.

    So let’s do that. Let’s think, wrote blogs, discuss, and allow for discussions. Don’t shut people down.


















  • I think micro services are useful if you need to scale your application parts independently from other parts.

    But I think now everyone uses micro services because it fulfills the developer dreams of being able to write code independently, and have it run on your computer inside docker.

    So using docker is probably the best part about micro services. The downside of all this is the extra complexity in having them talk to eachother and that is the difficult part. When everything goes over the network and is async, you run into lots of potential error scenarios that must be handled. And each call is a million times slower compared to local.

    It’s not the future. It’s just a tech trend and it will be something else in a few years. Tech never stays the same for very long.
