Have been bugging @amodm for a while to turn that gist into a blog article. 😅
Just today used this whole thread and @amodm's detailed gist as the cornerstone of for a talk that highlights the availability costs of introducing layers in your service architecture.
We'll keep today's #WeekendDevPuzzle simple:
