Microservices

Adaptability is always the answer, depending on the environment is how everything else is going to adapt. In the case of micro services, it is known by a new model for the big monolith replacement, but it is not a replacement, is just another type of architecture that had its benefits because certain features it has, but ensuring that micro services is the only path to follow, causes a problem, this architecture is proper for specific scenarios. In the industry, the massive over use of a new technology is often, for newer creations comes the extended massive usage. At this point other creations or technology can be developed to enter the competition scenario, for now, the old monolithic model is left behind, while micro services models are more used and potential growth is heading that way. As mention before, for some scenarios is viable using micro services, but in not the only alternative, it always depend on what is being worked on. It is true that segmentation and modulation can divide the problem and increase performance. But a created architecture is build for a specific reason and context, entities from other context could not be attended to this architecture, the scope is limited at the creation. Software can be a vast abstract space, but it has its own edges, defined by the container, the hardware; A hardware with a biological structure will be so adaptive that the variation of the code and the services would be so dense and ample, which could provide a vast amount of services. The adaptation could be structured by a preferred environment, which exposes the resident’s needs.

The new technologies bring new opportunities to achieve tasks with better performance and approximations that years before, the infinite possibilities for creating new technologies, new architectures is always present. I wonder how architectures will be in the future, there are infinite possibilities waiting to be discovered.
