As a rule of thumb, systems can grow ten times under their current architecture or paradigm, and then they must be re-architected. This 10X effect causes old technologies to become obsolete, new ones to emerge and underlies the massive shift to cloud computing.
It was the '80s when the last major computing infrastructure paradigm shift happened. It was the introduction of the client server for designing business applications in the new way. Those applications typically ran on x86 computers – aka PCs.
Then, came the internet in the '90s and the 'client' part of this design changed completely. Applications were being accessed through web browsers rather than having them runn on a desktop PC. Now is the time when we are being witnesses to the 'server' side of client/server which is being disrupted and replaced by cloud computing.
