I don't think it has. We just have a fashion trend where people love to brag about managing 100 micro-services using Kubernetes. But there's still companies out there where the entire back-end is a single binary on a single beefy server, potentially with a hot spare server running alongside it.

Would you happen to know where I can find such companies?

  Most government entities, big banks and companies using mainframes and AS/400 systems

    There are mainframes & COBOL still around, but speaking as someone who's never worked in the sort of place that uses the trendy things mentioned on HN, I would say Oracle and things built on Oracle are my concept of "normal". I don't know how decision makers think, but I get a general sense that Oracle is the safe "you can't be fired for choosing..." choice. I don't think these places have just one server, though, far from it.
