I don't think it's possible to achieve both 1 and 2 simultaneously. If all of the software is specifically made to be integrated with other components, wouldn't

  The only alternative would be to create an elegant system that is also in itself an open standard. I don't see a way around this double requirement. It sounds like something mighty interesting to work in.

    It doesn't have to be elegant, just popular enough that everyone agrees to standardize on it. The best example I have in mind is the S3: because it's so popular, it's the default API for minio (https://min.io/ https://min.io/). Redis is also different enough from every other database yet widespread enough that it's considered a standard, and other projects have started using its API to implement an alternative or a cache. I also hope that at one point I can just write my code, wrap it behind a simple HTTP API, and give it to some orchestrator that manages everything (monitoring, logs, deployment, TLS, gives me a FS API, manages authentication, ...). I feel like web platforms such as OpenResty (https://openresty.org/en/ https://openresty.org/en/), Caddy (https://caddyserver.com/ https://caddyserver.com/) already provide part of it, but can probably go a bit further

      I think it does have to have a certain elegance (or better, conceptual integrity), otherwise it won't be able to provide a flexible and understandable interface for handling all the various use cases.
