马克拉塞尔: Microservices live in an ecosystem. If you don't have the whole ecosystem, the microservice is just a unit of packaging, 某些已定义的服务. If that's not built as a 12-factor app, where you've really paid attention to your APIs, you have automation in terms of how the product is built, 以及如何进行测试, 以及它是如何部署的. If you don't have that notion of continuous deployment and evolution built into the concept of your product, then microservices is sort of an uninteresting thing to deal with.

一旦你到了那里, then you find out very quickly how you're going to get yourself messed up if you just take a monolith and stick it in a container and try to float it. You can't deal with the monoliths in a continuous evolution fashion. You'll quickly come to grief with that, and you'll find you have to start to split it up.

We live with a foot in both worlds. Sometimes I think we have one and a half feet in one, and then a half a foot in another. Our broadcast and operator customers have a lot of legacy, 我们尊重这一传统, and we're trying to bridge that world between a legacy that we're an honored part of, and then trying to bring them to, evolve into sort of a new space, 这很难做到吗.

So you get a lot of bending of the rules, if you like, when you're doing that. But you're doing that in the service of trying to do something good at the end of the day.
