In the Great Microservices Debate, Value Eats Size for Lunch

In May, an article from the Amazon Prime Video architecture team reignited the debate on serverless microservices versus a monolith. The focus was on scaling challenges and costs, rather than purely on microservices. The size and granularity of services were hotly debated, with the emphasis on providing value independently. Coupling, payload handling, testability, and deployability were also crucial considerations. Eventually, the architecture should prioritize delivering value to end users through a diverse mix of services.

Edge functions: good for performance and cost, hard to debug and integrate, states new survey

Edge functions are a new modern approach to web application development that integrates with third-party APIs to reduce frustration. The traditional way of web application deployment involves hosting a server, using a load balancer, and executing a content delivery network. Cloud providers like AWS, Google, and Azure have made edge functions a natural fit with their cloud infrastructure. Although, there are challenges with debugging live functions and distributed database synchronization. Typescript is the most popular programming language for edge function development.
