Right Abstraction
summary
Compares runtimes—bare metal, VMs, containers, app platforms and functions—with concrete tradeoffs and tooling: Cloud Foundry creates containers for you, Spring Cloud Data Flow composes pipelines using Kafka and RabbitMQ as glue, and serverless (Lambda/Knative) scales to zero. Cites operating experience at scale: 2,700 applications and ~100,000 containers, showing containers ease ops but explode heterogeneity, apps/platforms reduce developer overhead at cost of flexibility, and the rule is pick the deepest runtime that preserves compatibility.
