Each component is developed by a different team, using different technologies and practices, and deployed to a different stack/target –…

We are always online. We access our data, our finances, work, and various services on the Internet. But we live in a congested world of information in which the roads were built two decades ago. The quest for better, faster Internet routing has been around for a decade, but nobody solved this problem. We’ve seen band aid approaches like CDNs that attack a niche’s slice of static content part of the Internet, but that’s it. It does not address the dynamic services-based Internet of today. It doe…
