The broader implications reaches well beyond immediate impacts. Understanding these complexities is critical for teams wanting to prepare adequately.

Key Takeaways

• The movement toward distributed systems signals a significant evolution in the way teams architect solutions.
• The sophistication of modern systems requires evolved capabilities throughout engineering teams.
• Prioritization of capability building is likely to prove more valuable than pursuing trendy technologies.
