This sounds ridiculous until you go to Amsterdam see that few wear helmets there. And everyone is cycling.
They might be more inclined to cycle because they don’t need to wear a helmet.
After years of cycling with helmet you get so used to it and it doesn’t bother you. But how many skip the bike because they never got used to wearing a helmet?
Agree, east was a poor choice of word. Perhaps powerful would be better because frequently it can be difficult to attain. But it is difficult to pick good nuances for broad generalizations. There are many other attractive aspects of micro services and many cases for which they are perfectly well suited.
CPU’s are mind boggling fast compared to data transfer. There are exceptions but for the vast majority of workloads reducing data transfers is the easiest optimization.
But scale is the obvious key component, having CPU’s allocated to doing mostly nothing is such a waste.
