- Making remote calls seem like they are local resulted in poor design decisions, the benefit of SOAP/REST was that people considered what the interface a useful service should be.
- Why not flip it and look to move groups of microservices onto the same machine, updating how the app communicate.
- if component boundaries are fine grained, the combinations of local/remote services relative to each other increases, along with the testing burden; just because the system hides remote deploying, it still should be tested for.
- Incorporating this with storage, eg dynamic shard rebalancing would be super cool
I was there 2 weeks ago and got about 10. They are usually very small and take a while to find, you can often see people hunched over the same spot for a while sifting through the sand.
