I have come to the conclusion, over many years, that microservices are simply a runtime solution to a compile-time problem. Why can we not develop code in a modular way (to separate concerns & isolate) , but deploy it in a monolithic wa

Nice story. Whilst there is a growing number of women in IT, there is still a noticeable lack in development roles. Only time and attitudes will change that. We men are not that different. Last week our garden wall was damaged in the storms
