"there is no single development, in either technology or management technique, which by itself promises even one order of magnitude improvement within a decade in productivity, in reliability, in simplicity"
~ Fred Brooks, No Silver Bullet (1986)
- tyingq 8y agoThe explosion of variety has actually pushed the other way. It was expensive, but MVS shops could push out highly available apps with a consistent UI very quickly. It seems we've really only made progress on unit cost and ubiquity. I think this is roughly why cloud is popular. It's not cheap, but if you're using their standard pieces (RDS, lambda, ECS, ELB, CloudWatch etc), you're working in a defined box with fewer choices.
