I found the article to be sound in the fact of modularity and building upon what works as the old adage states "if it ain't broke don't fix it" holds true however there is always room for technology improvements when one monitors and measures the entire lifecycle of a transaction system. The world's systems exist in the way that they do today because someone took a risk on a design to work and the uptake of what “works” only spreads as the acceptance of said design is proven. I have wasted most of my adult life rewriting the same system in entirety five times and am now in the process of rewriting it again for the sixth however now I am applying it to a different industry. The design was proven over several decades in the critical uptime high transaction volume payments industry and now that same design is being generalized into other industries. The other industries applications may not have the same transaction volume requirements as the financial industries designs however refactoring what works ensures the critical availability portion as well as the scaling flexibility to meet potential high transaction volume should any other applied industries demand that same growth requirement.
