Meta Modern Software Architecture
summary
Argues that architecture styles emerge from new platform capabilities and that a metamodern holism demands trade-off analysis not silver bullets. Cites the 2014 microservices canon as clarifying what microservices is and isn’t, promotes service mesh and sidecar for operational plumbing, and promotes data mesh with data-product quanta for analytic/operational separation. Models all eight saga combinations of consistency/communication/coordination to show each pattern’s costs, advises preferring duplication over coupling in many cases, and closes with a call for ethical, humane engineering.
