I'm a young developer and I feel like I have such little context for where and why we are today.<p>A few examples:<p>- what tradeoffs did companies examine before concluding to move to microservices from monoliths? Which companies decided not to? Why?<p>- When Angular.js first came out, what made companies adopt it? What were they using before?<p>- Why did everyone leave PHP?<p>- What made Postgres become popular? What were they using before? Who decided to stick with their original tech?<p>Does there exist a chart with maybe<p>- industries on the x axis (healthcare, transportation, ecommerce, finance...) and<p>- technologies on the y axis (Next.js, React, Angular, Postgres, AWS, MySQL, Jenkins, etc.), and<p>- each cell is did this industry adopt this technology in general? How long did it take? Why not initially? What changed?
