Key points

  • Microservices balanced communication overhead with parallel development speed, but AI agents change that balance.
  • AI agents speed up small features but large cross-cutting features remain slow due to fragmented architecture.
  • Developers need to own larger code units, but microservices boundaries are too small, leading to merge conflicts and governance issues.
  • Future architecture requires safer code delivery, externalized API specs, and new team topologies.
