"Microservices" are a new name for a very old concept.
This is just low-coupling, high-cohesion by another name.
Small, composable, decoupled, highly cohesive components are what "good" software has been about for decades, but it now has a new name in the server s/w world; "Microservices".
Only the name is new & hyped. The concepts have been true forever.
- alayne 10y agoThere is software and concepts around managing microservices that didn't exist before, and so on. Nothing can be new when you use such a vague way of comparing things. There were electric cars in the 1800s, why talk about Tesla?
- TickleSteve 10y ago...so what is a new concept regarding microservices? I don't see anything new... new tools, granted. Then again, there's new tools being produced every day for every architectural style.
