🚨 Your PR bots miss the worst bugs: The ones nobody sees coming.

Clean PR ✅ Tests pass ✅ Merged ✅

Days later: Production breaks. Undocumented service down. Devs debugging code they've never seen.

🔥 Hot take: Many "serverless microservices" are just distributed monoliths in disguise.

You've got 20 Lambda functions, but they're calling each other synchronously like it's 2015.

That's not cloud-native. That's an expensive, slow monolith with extra steps. Read here: nimbusai.dev/blog/taming-...
Serverless Isn't Magic: Taming the Distributed Monolith & Other Cloud-Native Headaches
Forget servers, they said. Embrace the future of the cloud with serverless, where scaling is automatic, costs are optimized, and you can finally focus purely on writing code that matters. This vision....

Remember when microservices were the best thing since sliced bread? 🍞

Breaking up monolith architecture felt like pure genius. until complexity grew into chaos. Simple tasks became coordination nightmares and failures cascaded everywhere.

The software industry has "shifted left" with security and QA, but architecture planning remains largely reactive. We're exploring the hidden costs of just-in-time architecture in our latest blog. 👉🔗 buff.ly/Ot5yoFA #ShiftLeft
The Hidden Costs of Just-In-Time Architecture
The software industry has embraced "shift left" thinking across many domains. In security, we've moved from end-stage penetration testing to embedding security practices throughout the development…
