Re: Hmmmmm
Well 2 comments. (And this is from a background of being out of the game this last 8 years - retired. So not au fait with Container technology.)
1) Doesn’t the final bit of the article sound as if we’ve just reinvented Application Servers from the early 2000s?
2) I did a lot of work with organisations who had large IT estates and were interested in ‘this new micro services thing’. In general, apart from new builds, they didn’t implement them. There were two difficulties. 1) Just like refactoring, when you cost it, it’s difficult to justify financially unless there’s an over riding business imperative. (We did find one or two.) 2) The scale of the ongoing management complexity became obvious when it became necessary to have a catalogue of micro services. And since complexity = costs + cock ups….
So I get it with new builds. But like one of the other commentators, I’m less than convinced for what you might call ‘legacy’ or you might call ‘what’s making the money’.
