> The real alternative is not doing the whole microservices thing and just deploying a single statically linked, optimized C++ server that can serve 10k requests per second from a toaster--but we're not ready to have that discussion.
The alternative is to have a old and boring cluster of X identical java nodes which host the entire backend in a single process... The deployment is done by a pedestrian bash script from a Jenkins. It used to work fine for too long I guess and folks couldn't resist "inventing" microservices to "disrupt" it.
