Yegge's "It's not software" from 2004 has a nice bit about microservices -- pretty ahead of the hype curve on that one: > What if every "API call" were hosted by a different server? Well, you'd have a lot of flexibility in fixing any given call without needing to impact clients that don't use it. And it'd be easier to distribute it over multiple machines — it seems like it'd be a better design than the BEA WebLogic design, which is to run a few copies of your MonolithService on each of a handful of machines. There would be new problems to solve, but who's to say it wouldn't be a better design overall? We won't know unless we ask the question. https://sites.google.com/site/steveyegge2/its-not-software https://sites.google.com/site/steveyegge2/its-not-software
