Yeah, with all this micorservices, serverless, lambda hype I can't help but feel this all was addressed, at least in the Java world, with EJB.

Yep, the complexity of deploying docker and k8s versus uploading an WAR or EAR file into a JEE application server.

One of the nice things of being in Java and .NET lands since day one, and C++ since its kindergarten years, is to see all the cool kids coming up with "totally new stuff". watch them re-learn what we already did, and eventually collect some improvements and those stacks adopt what was actually new since the last reboot.

In the long run the turtle still seems a better option.

But EJB felt over-engineered even compared to today's stack. Maybe it was actually not, and just felt that way, of course.
