So 63% of market still to be captured by microservices. I think it is great for boosting profit at cloud vendors, APM vendors, service mesh and so on.

If I had made big tech level money, there is no better time to retire and move away from tech for me.

I'm taking time out of the industry and doing other stuff. When it finally works out that it's not a viable approach for perhaps 90% of the products out there I'm going to come back and sell exit strategies.

Do we really want another religious war over microservices vs monoliths?

Count me out. I'll adopt each for appropriate use cases.

I guess not since microsevices have won already.

From where I stand it's the opposite. 5 years ago microservices were cool, now it's just the banks and telecomms adopting them, while the others realise sometimes they're useful, sometimes a monolith is useful, sometimes a service-oriented architecture (not micro) is useful.

Yea, I think they "won" out in the discourse over the last ~5 years, but I'm convinced it was another ZIRP phenomenon that will quickly fade as belts get tightened. When money rains down like mana from the heavens, sure, go ahead and hire half a dozen Ops folks to run your big ball of mud that maxes out at 8 req/s and has a 6 figure monthly AWS spend. I think things are going to swing back the other way, purely because efficiency will more important than it was over the last decade.

I must have missed that award ceremony.

Just look for the smears of shit over everything. They're over there.

Take time out and you may risk getting left behind on the likely shift to AI augmented coding

A monkey could work that out in thirty minutes.

Hopefully not otherwise all our jobs are at risk

It is all the rage on enterprise products now, see headless CMS and MACH architecture, coupled with product vendors SaaS offerings instead of on premises installations.
