> From my perspective, the Internet is strung together by a bunch of micro services - DNS here, email there, etc. etc. And that seems to work. But that was true long before the term microservice was invented though. And, arguably, a pet server running a full-on DNS server, logging locally on something else than stdin/stdout, and using it's own DB, ain't a microservice while another DNS server containerized, using standard logging, and a DB outside the container is a microservice. So yeah it's all disputable but to me the Internet was working just fine on pet servers years if not decades before microservices communicating through APIs were invented.
