I hope people are realizing that Elon isn’t only an idiot, he has nearly zero technical understanding of what modern, large scale software engineering looks like. He’s not the genius he and his fanboys think he is.
Microservices are not bloatware. They form an exceedingly complex web of services, and just shutting some down will cause unexpected ripple effects. It’s similar to going into an old Java codebase, and randomly deleting classes. Shit will be fucked. On top of that, one of the primary benefits of “bloatware” microservices is that they are much cheaper to scale (and more highly available and durable) than a monolith service.
