I agree this is a good thing. Now that knowledge just needs to be accelerated up the corporate ladder to CTO's/CEO's.

The only change I've been witnessing with regards to microservices is where their critics place their personal goalpost.

Microservices is a buzzword that is used as synonym for distributed systems and the evolution of service-oriented architectures after removing the constraints of rigid interface-related XML-based technologies like UDDI and WISDL in favour of ad-hoc interfaces. Some responsibilities are moved to dedicated services when the operations side justifies it, and services are developed based on key design principles to reflect lessons that have been learned throughout the past couple of decades.

But even if the hype associated with a buzzword comes and goes, the concepts and its uses are still the same.

Unfortunately containers are still into the "peak of inflated expectations".
