Microservices are the dominant approach for building modern, large-scale systems today. But, are they going to remain the top choice? Let's find out.

There are are many great benefits to serverless functions, as well as some serious limitations, such as cold start and time limits. Those limitations accumulate when you have functions invoking other functions. The execution time limits for function are very problematic if you want to apply retry logic with exponential backoff.
