The premise of the Blueprint is the separation of the app’s logic and most of the infrastructure/ops concerns. | Aleksey Charapko
We kicked off the winter term set of papers in the reading group with the “Towards Modern Development of Cloud Applications” HotOS’23 paper. The paper proposes a different approach to designing distributed applications by replacing the microservice architecture style with something more fluid.| Aleksey Charapko
