    So when can we expect to start being pelted with microservices "articles" about events and seminars?

      Maybe "Converging Continuous Hyperservices in an Agile DevOps Environment"?

        "Maybe "Converging Continuous Hyperservices in an Agile DevOps Environment"?"

        If you type that in a small enough font it might collapse into a very tiny black hole.

        Why yes, and multi-syllabic words strung together will most definitely make your business more profitable. We don't just see the future, we help create it .. for a price you know. Mostly, by the letter.

      Definitely. Like cloud, I am already tired of hearing about microservices and I don't even know what people are talking about yet.

    Looking for an A round

    I have this new startup concept. Machine learning to determine industry trends paired with an accounts receivable data data mining algorith to determine who is paying me. Match the two up, and whala... a "magic quadrant". You may think that this is old hat and the likes of Gartner and IDC hav it covered but ... my startup would be way more efficient without the overpaid parasite headcount ...
