All well and good. Here's something that sounds totally crazy: the future of infrastructure and of software development is in self-programming/self-modifying systems driven by AI to meet a set of requirements. Not buzzword pitchdeck bingo, but systems that can figure out how to optimize, fix and add features to themselves. It's asking a whole lot to get there, but it's inevitable because the cost savings potential is cavernous. There will only be three job left: govt bureaucrat, elder care, and a million applicants vying to be the last remaining engineer who can figure out the latest combinator-based programming language written in BF this machine decided to create on its own.
This article signals to me that we may have reached ‘peak microservice’ and should now expect a flood of blog posts extolling the virtues of monoliths and lots of industry effort to combine microservices into self-contained monoliths.
