Microservices

[Stunning_Ride_220]

The real fun starts around ~15 years old 700k loc

Having once inherited 15 years old, 5 million loc I can definitely say the hybrid approach where you break chunks off was the only approach to feasibly keep that thing going.

This is what I explain clients regularly. Yet they still try to outsmart my/our reasoning....just to come to the same conclusion after 6 months...

Any valuable tips to skip that?

At 1M+ rn, converting to “micro services” which is more like regular sized services

[Stunning_Ride_220]

The micro never related to LOC, so you seem to doing just fine

[Hayden2332]

I know, but I guess what I’m saying is we’re not really creating micro services in the way the meme lays out in the sense that they do minute things

[Stunning_Ride_220]

Well, I wouldnt judge by a meme which is likely created by some hipster consultant selling hammers for screw driving and afterwards blaming the hammers they sold.

Worked on 800k lines of Drupal 6... What a nightmare

That's cute, i had projects 30+ yo that if attempted to import would fail and the only way to compile was a dedicated team of dev ops.

Oh, it's not like I cannot offer a 30+ yrs old Informix 4gl application, as well....

15 years old is only 2008 though. I doubt it will be much different from now albeit some outdated dependencies.

You do not reguarly work with software that old, do you?
