The landscape of distributed systems is evolving rapidly, with object storage taking on a central role, new programming models emerging, and the fusion of transactional and analytical processing tools. While navigating these changes can be daunting, there are clear benefits to embracing innovations such as object storage for its scalability and reliability. Understanding the distinction between one-way-door and two-way-door decisions, as outlined by Jeff Bezos, can guide strategic choices. With the potential for simplified and modular systems, the future of distributed systems holds promise, although the transition may be challenging. Ultimately, the path towards more efficient and effective systems lies in wisely choosing the right technologies and strategies.
