The new stack isn’t a stack: Fragmentation and terraforming the service layer
Donnie Berkholz, Ph.D.Research Director — Development, DevOps, & IT Ops
Why the divergence? Around 2005, suddenly things changed. More VC deals, smaller deal size.

Cloud Amazon changed. Cloud brought hardware acquisition cost and time near zero. Anyone can run a supercomputer for an hour. This enabled low-‐cost funding models like Y Combinator, amortizing risk across more startups for the same investment size.

Polyglot programming There’s no obvious choice for the right language, based on community adoption.

Are we nearing peak fragmentation of languages? The top 5 languages become less popular every year, and they’re all equalizing. The #1 language used to be >30% of open-‐source code; now it’s 10%. Middle-‐tier languages are growing more popular as well, further equalizing usage and fragmenting language choice. But — this change is slowing. 10

Are we nearing peak fragmentation of languages? Less-‐used languages increase in popularity every year.

It’s not just languages; frameworks have the same problem

The UNIX philosophy and the accordion hypothesis Different layers of the stack expand and contract over time. We can’t cope with everything being fragmented all the time.

Loosely coupled services Business-‐defined separations. Bounded context based on cross-‐organizational empathy. Steve Yegge memo — Amazon must be SOA, or you’re fired.

Loosely coupled teams “One of the biggest changes is that we no longer have an official ‘architecture’ team. Instead, we have made ‘architecture’ an ‘ingredient’ on each of our teams.” – Lauri Apple, Gilt Groupe, 14 Nov 2014 DevOps is how you build and run microservices.

Example: Netflix (﴾yawn)﴿ Amazing stuff, great open-‐source code But hard for the rest of the world to envision becoming like them Any others?

Example: Software AG • Launch a multitenant, elastically scalable, componentized cloud integration
platform • Dynamically launch and run 100s of different demos in AWS • Their own customers running hotel kiosks, retail POS

Providers
• The usual IaaS suspects: AWS, DO, OS, etc. • +Heroku. PaaS? Huh? • +Mailgun, CloudFlare, DNSimple, DNSMadeEasy.
So now we’re in SaaS land.
Terraform lets you control, orchestrate, and share configuration data across low-‐ and high-‐level services.

Service layer – “easy.” But not.
Mixing on-‐prem code and external APIs is the biggest thing since Twinkies

Look ma, no servers!

Conclusions • Technology is increasingly fragmented.
• Microservices will have heterogeneous technology
stacks.
• Tooling will need to integrate internal + external microservices.
• Developers will build apps using only browser-‐side code and microservice orchestration — no servers to manage.
