I didn’t see this coming and I think it’s funny, so I decided to post it here.

    Cant wait to set up a docker container for a service which takes a string input and transforms it into a number as the output. Full logging, its own certificate for encryption of course, 5 page config options and of course documentation. Now, you want to add two numbers together? You got the addition service set up right?

    I’m trying to understand how this is different than a concept I learned in computer science in the late 80s/early 90s called RPCs (remote procedure calls). My senior project in college used these. Yes I’m old and this was 35 years ago.

      Microservice architectures are ad hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow, implementations of Erlang, implemented by people who think that “actor model” has something to do with Hollywood.

    quantum services

    take your source code and put each character in its own docker container

    this gives you the absolute peak of scalability and agility as every quantum of your application is decoupled from the others and can be deployed or scaled independently

    implementing, operating and debugging this architecture is left as an exercise for the reader

    that will be $250,000 kthx

    This is just distributed functions, right? This has been a thing for years. AWS Lambda, Azure Functions, GCP Cloud Functions, and so on. Not everything that uses these is built on a distributed functions model but a fuck ton of enterprises have been doing this for years.

        I am now offering Planck services for sale, at US$0.0001 per bit.

        For an extra fee, you can even choose the value of the bit.

      That intro and general structure (AI loves bulleted lists but then again so do I) sure sound like a lot of the responses I’ve gotten. As always, it’s hard to say for sure.

    Nano services are microservices after your company realizes monoliths are much easier to maintain and relabels their monoliths as microservices.

    Unironically. I’d put a significant wager down on that being the source of this term.

    We already have nanoservices, they’re called functions. If you want a function run on another box, that’s called RPC.

    I was going to write that every function should be a service as sarcasm, then I realized that’s exactly what this article is proposing. Now I’m not even sure how to make a more ridiculous proposal than this.

          I work in government IT, and AWS is used there too. I prefer working with a team delivering a COBOL data cruncher service, though the build people have it easier when the job is just connecting a source to a sink in AWS
