Microservices in the future
summary
Claims that a 4-year DORA study links software delivery performance to profitability, productivity and market share, and that moving undifferentiated infrastructure to cloud platforms raises that performance. Lists concrete complexities: service discovery, load balancing, circuit breakers, CI/CD per service, and argues Kubernetes offloads many chores but adds new primitives and a steep learning curve while demanding immutable, single-concern containers with externalized state and health endpoints. Proposes alternatives: service mesh for networking concerns and a serverless image-processing pipeline (S3 → thumbnail function → metadata update) to reduce TCO and speed delivery.
