Our industry is fascinated with the origin stories of founders and the end of technology trends. In between, we seem fine with learning curves and technical debt.

WHEN ONE TECHNOLOGY ENDS, DOES ANOTHER TAKE ITS PLACE?

During a recent interview, I was asked “How close to complete is Kubernetes?”. We also saw a survey saying that less people are interested in Serverless (knowledge/training). Kubernetes is far from complete, and Serverless was supposed to be the next thing.   

WHY DO WE WORRY MORE ABOUT THE END OF A TECHNOLOGY AND LESS ABOUT TECHNICAL DEBT?

1. Is the technology media only interested in origin stories and ending stories?
2. Kubernetes is far from being complete, both as a project and the adjacencies around it. Why are we more interested in the end than in the middle (e.g. developer experience)?
3. Serverless was supposed to replace Kubernetes - why have we lost interest in Serverless?
4. Serverless didn’t have any “wars”, and it didn’t have any major startups or acquisitions (at least not yet)
