Chips With Everything

100th Monkey Syndrome

Multi Layered

From 2001: A Space Odyssey – Arthur C Clarke :

Moon-Watcher came face to face with the New Rock the next morning when he led the tribe down to the river in the first light of morning. He had almost forgotten the terrors of the night because nothing had happened after that initial noise, so he did not even associate this strange thing with danger or with fear. There was, after all nothing in the least alarming about it.

It was a rectangular slab, three time his height but narrow enough to span with his arms, and it was made of some completely transparent material. Fantastic, fleeting geometrical patterns flickered in and out of existence as the glowing grids meshed and unmeshed; and the man apes watched, mesmerised captives of the shining crystal. They could never guess that their minds were being probed, their bodies mapped, their reactions studied, their potentials evaluated.

One thought on “Chips With Everything”

From Wiki :

In software engineering, a monolithic application is a single unified software application that is self-contained and independent from other applications, but typically lacks flexibility.There are advantages and disadvantages of building applications in a monolithic style of software architecture, depending on requirements. Monolith applications are relatively simple and have a low cost but their shortcomings are lack of elasticity, fault tolerance and scalability. Alternative styles to monolithic applications include multitier architectures, distributed computing and microservices.

Despite their popularity in recent years, monolithic applications are still a good choice for applications with small team and little complexity. However, once it becomes too complex, you can consider refactoring it into microservices or a distributed application. Note that a monolithic application deployed on a single machine, may be performant enough for your current workload but it’s less available, less durable, less changeable, less fine-tuned and less scalable than a well designed distributed system.
