27. A microservice architecture
employs lightweight, modular,
and typically stateless
components with well-defined
interfaces and contracts.

122. “…in a cloud native architecture, the benefit of
HDFS is actually very small and that is why
many cloud-first organizations no longer run
HDFS, or only run it as a caching layer for S3.”
