The founder of christianity was a victim of religion, so ... we are more aware about those dangers than you, probably.

Indeed, as Paul Tillich argued, a religion's ultimate truth depends on its willingness to renounce its own literal particularity (being "a religion") in favor of universal truth. Which is what Christ did (and christians believed, which is to say, assumed) renouncing his divinity, dying in the Cross.

> A microservice is an application with an API and a database that only that service can access.

Of course, soon you'll find that you need to "join" the data from different services, and you'll start suffering and asking what is the microservice-orthodox way of dealing with that.
At that point you'll learn that that dogma (a database for each microservice) is actually not writen in stone

(and at that point you'll start losing your faith and questioning what is all this about, perhaps).

Let me quote, from the comments thread at a recent article by same submitter:

Could we stop having Dice articles submitted by Nerval's Lobster? Why not fully disclose that the story was submitted by the corporate parent of Slashdot?

Another user, in the same thread, had speculated:

What comes next, a thread on "is Emacs better than Vi"?

No, sir, you were utterly wrong. It came "Postgresql is better than Mysql".

Ever since programming languages existed, they have been classified in 2 categories: - Those every one bitches about, - and those nobody uses...

Sounds clever, but it's plainly false.

C, Java, C# are among the most used languages today. Very few serious programmers will say that they are stupid or awful. And, many criticisms aside, most programmers respect them - even love them. I program in all these languages, I like them all, and I hate PHP with passion. It's not an issue of popularity; PHP, its community, its history, all of it, is a tale of terror.
