A highly opinionated look at microservices
This article is one man's opinion of whether or not Microservices are worth it. It looks at problems, myths, the current state of affairs, and offers a little guidance. The article states not to get caught in the hoopla of microservices (even Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, Google, and Microsoft). There's no reason you can't host a microservice in a Linux OS on DigitalOcean12 for $5 a month running C# .NET Core code.

All my life I have been passionate about architecture / software design, as this is the cornerstone to a maintainable and extensible application. As such, I have enjoyed exploring some crazy ideas and discovering that they are not so crazy after all. I also love writing about my ideas and seeing the community response. As a consultant, I've enjoyed working in a wide range of industries such as aerospace, boatyard management, remote sensing, emergency services / data management, and casino operations. I've done a variety of pro-bono work non-profit organizations related to nature conservancy, drug recovery and women's health.
