Unison Cloud eliminates many of these headaches. With content-addressed code, there’s no need for containerization or orchestration. Statically typed services ensure compatibility by referring to each other by hash, removing the need for service discovery or manual API versioning. Adaptive Service Graph Compression minimizes latency by automatically co-locating services that frequently interact. This talk shows how the unique features of Unison Cloud vastly simplify microservice architecture.
