Dark Energy Microservices Architecture

Dark energy and dark matter shape the architecture Assemblage uses the dark energy and dark matter forces to shape the service architecture. Dark energy forces encourage decomposition into smaller services. Dark matter forces resist decomposition. The balance between these forces shapes the service architecture. Service A Subdomain A Dark energy repulsion Dark matter attraction Service B Subdomain B

A mock technical diagram presents dark energy and dark matter as opposing forces shaping a microservices architecture, with one force encouraging decomposition and the other resisting it. The joke applies cosmic terminology to the familiar debate over whether software should be split into more services, making it a reaction to microservice overengineering and architectural complexity.
