Microservices have lately seemed to me to be a buzzword for the ears of executives and stakeholders. To someone who isn't technical enough, it seems really "cool" from the outside, but on the inside, it's more than often a shitshow with teams and managers messing around to get these services working with each other properly while wasting a lot of time.
If you ask me, if the time and focus is invested properly, it would be much more efficient to run a monolith instead. That's what some small number of great teams end up doing.
- Garlef 3y ago> lately "lateley" as in "for the last 5 years"?
- andreiursan 3y agomore like ~10 years. 2014: https://martinfowler.com/articles/microservices.html https://martinfowler.com/articles/microservices.html but also 2015: https://martinfowler.com/bliki/MonolithFirst.html https://martinfowler.com/bliki/MonolithFirst.html
- my_usernam3 3y agoYeah that seems closer to my experience. From my perspective, 2016ish was peak. At least thats when I had to to argue the most against trying to needlessly break up services.
- bottlepalm 3y agoNot only that, if you spoke out against microservices you were labeled not a ‘team player’ outcasted to maintain ‘old’ code that runs the entire company as a bunch of hot new devs create a mountain of crap services only to quit when they got bored.
