I've seen monoliths running on 10 year old technology using runtimes and development kits that have been deprecated or are no longer supported by their maintainers. These applications are being used in production today by billion dollar companies. With microservices this never has to be the case. I think it's madness for a company to be running old software with security vulnerabilities and performance liabilities because no one wants to touch what's basically a digital Jenga tower. Then you have people writing articles like this one. I think we're beyond fads and buzzwords here. There are real world advantages for building software this way. If you're afraid to embrace the future, please step aside. You're making my job far more difficult than it should be. These are my observations as a 40 year old developer.
