SAG Expert Interview #05: The Evolution of Microservices
summary
Originating as a reaction to monoliths and heavyweight integration, microservices claim to trade big-bang SOA for independently deployable services and team autonomy; early implementations use embedded Jetty and command-line deployments and explore AWS 2010–2011, CI/CD, observability and containers. The movement ties architecture to org design via Conway’s Law and Team Topologies, produces Kubernetes-centered toolchains today, and leaves one practical ambiguity unresolved: useful service size is defined by single responsibility, not a fixed metric.
