" summary

Argues measurable lessons from Red Hat and JBoss experience: microservices often just reintroduce classic distributed‑systems failures and tradeoffs; containers plus Kubernetes drive immutable deployment patterns and change operational assumptions; HTTP remains common but teams adopt gRPC and polyglot runtimes for performance; some monoliths become maintainable via the majestic monolith approach so rewind or split only with clear architecture; unit of deployment, state location and cascading failure counts remain open, and many success stories sit beside surprising failures.
