Why Are Software Engineers Quitting Microservices?
Dave Farley unpacks the growing pushback against microservices—those once-hyped distributed systems that often end up costing more in complexity, maintenance and hidden overhead than they ever saved. He walks through real-world design pitfalls (think Spring Boot sprawl), the unexpected operational nightmares, and why teams are rethinking the move away from simpler, smarter architectures.
Alongside lessons on what microservices really are (and aren’t), Dave points to common traps—like over-engineering and brittle service meshes—and teases what the next wave of software architecture might look like. It’s a candid look at where the microservices dream went sideways and how to build better distributed systems next time.
