Transcription: a Twitter thread from Gary Bernhardt.

  • You, the one who is reading this! You don't need Kubernetes!
  • Also microservices.
  • Also queues that are separate from your primary database (for most apps).
  • Google cosplay is not business-critical.

I've been migrating one of my company's apps from microservices back to monolithic Java. It's wonderful. I haven't touched a line of yaml in weeks.

Currently migrating a massive monolithic Java application to microservices... The circle of life continues.

Want to just swap jobs in ~5 years to keep the cycle going? You can migrate this project back to a Java monolith and I'll migrate your monolith back to micros :D

Honestly this just sounds like periodically refactoring everything to remove cruft can be a good thing. Also, it helps you understand how the existing code works if you change it and not break everything.
