In this episode, I discuss the issue of hype in our industry. In particular, I discuss the recent article by the Amazon Prime team and how they saved over 90% of their costs by switching from microservices to a monolithic architecture. I also rant about Crypto, blockchain, and other technologies that never delivered on their promise.
