Every time I see microservices, or Kafka, or Redis, ... I can't help being disappointed because we seem to be stuck reinventing BEAM/Erlang (and Elixir) 30 years after the fact, except with technologies that are slower, more fragile, more complicated to use and harder to deploy.

:sigh:

Someone in the Erlang community named our processes “nanoservices” as a joke. I thought that was pretty apt though, a gen_server is pretty close. And you can have 3M of those on one node!

I think it's more like Erlang processes are microservices and microservices as we know them today are usually "regularly-sized services" :D
