In this episode, Coté talks with Nate Schutta about his new book Responsible Microservices: when to use them, when to use a service mesh, the (false?) hope of polyglot programming, monolithic shaming, and giant zucchinis.

As the name implies, it discusses choosing when to do microservices and when not to...and some of the hows.

But, as we discuss, it's probably not a great idea to go too crazy: a couple of languages only is idea. Of course, you'll accumulate applications written in all sorts of languages over time, as you acquire companies, and so forth.

But, then, mysteriously many people say to use a monolith most of the time, sort of.
