The Internet is your Application Blueprint
summary
Argues that most web apps are monolithic silos and recommends breaking them into real services using existing tools: adopt service oriented patterns with message queues and edge-side includes, use Composer/Packagist/Satis for dependency and interface-based swaps, and store content in git (example: a company migrated blogging to a GitHub repo plus cron to eliminate CMS accounts). Cites PHPCR/Jackalope, Symfony2 CMF, create.js and Varnish as concrete pieces, and reports semantic markup can boost search traffic by ~10–20%.
