"Microservices" are such a fucking awful idea that so obviously has no redeeming features if you think about it for five minutes and I have come to deeply distrust anyone who promotes it as a 'modern' architecture

@joepie91 I think it makes sense... if youre at the scale of Netflix or something like that. I feel like a lot of the hype is kind of like, people doing it because they think it will make them like Netflix?

@operand It doesn't make sense at Netflix scale either, and this is why: social.pixie.town/@joepie91/11

The scale just doesn't matter. The correct scaling strategy at *any* scale is "find where the bottlenecks and constraints are, and scale specifically that part" and that just isn't what microservices do.

@operand (The only difference at Netflix scale is that the difference in outcome between "targeted scaling" and "microservices" is relatively smaller and so it's a bit less inefficient than it would be in smaller-scale setups. But it's still inefficient.)
