Conversation with Sam Newman in November 2025
Sat down with Sam Newman to talk microservices, and learn more about what he is seeing with the companies he consults with, as well as how microservices have evolved as part of the artificial intelligence shift in the landscape, drawing some parralells between the domain work and right-sizing with microservices and language models.
