+- [The Next 700 Stateless Services](https://blog.seekerror.org/the-next-700-stateless-services), Henning Rohde. This article is part of a series of four articles that challenge the stateless microservice approach. A very refreshing take, very well written.
+  - [Stateless services lack] agency. The request-driven design is not always adequate. Sometimes actions need to be taken outside the lifetime of a request, such as periodic checks, expiration, and similar background processing. Such actions do not fit nicely into the stateless design. They have to be initiated by an external trigger, such as a global cron job (which is semantically and operationally part of the service) or coordinated internally, which deviates from the purity of the stateless design. Either option adds complexity.
+- [The Plumber's Approach to Distributed Systems](https://blog.seekerror.org/the-plumbers-approach-to-distributed-systems) by the same author argues for considering stateful services:
+  - The plumber's approach is particularly suitable for low-latency distributed systems with non-trivial in-memory state or concurrency control requirements. The simplicity of single-threaded active work handlers is also beneficial. Of course, if the standard passive stateless design works without contortions, there is no need to complicate matters.
