There are two actually statistics underlying the discussion here, and from my reading both points are right (though disagreeing that we're urbanizing is incorrect)... 1) Our general trend is towards urbanization, humanity is now more u

Well, that's a definition question :) You're dead on -- proper "Server" solutions, like we see in architecture diagrams or on back-end tiers, are generally insensitive to startup times. As a rule they're spooled up

I'm not a googler, but from my readings about their dev culture: it wouldn't be practical, as such, for a lot of what that dev server is really used for. Stupid-much development, however, is API driven and based on isolated logic

Just to clarify, as someone who is fully on the bandwagon: would you recommend k8s for PostgresSQL loads? Perhaps without high availability? Postgres on Kubernetes seems close to the DevOps ideal for making lots of little "edge databa

You might want to look into Apache Kafka, with log compaction, which provides a model to accomplish exactly that while also handing message passing/data streaming. Your data warehouse can suck facts from Kafka (with ETL on either side

Just like all the other authenticated APIs in the world: you get a token when you log on, and use that token to authenticate yourself on future calls to the services. That's a lot of what OAuth and its ilk handle. This management of A

Microservice architectures are a sub-category of SOA. Many of the same reasons to use them apply to both, but with a finer granularity on what is being hosted where and how it is scaling with microservices. Scaling a service with multiple

I think that kind of process, slow decomposition based on performance and requirements, is the only sane approach. It's also reflected in how we manage code at the micro-level: collecting related logic into a module until it becomes un

"Micro" in this case relates to the services scope , not its operational footprint. So if Netflix has a "User logon" service, and a "payment processing" service, used across their clients clients you might be
