A snack-sized bagel for a snack-sized appetite.
Summary
The article discusses how LLM-assisted coding may be contributing to increased adoption of microservices architecture in software development. The author observes that LLMs naturally lend themselves to creating small, well-defined microservices with clear interfaces, which allows for easier refactoring and maintenance while keeping external contracts stable. The piece explores the relationship between AI-assisted development and architectural patterns.

· 3 pulledIt seems that LLM-assisted coding naturally flows towards small microservices, which the big backend uses for specific tasks.
A microservice has a very well-defined surface area. Everything that flows into the service (requests) and out (responses, webhooks) is defined explicitly.
That means that you can let an LLM rip large-scale refactors inside of the service, and as long as the contract with the outside world remains the same, the
