Why is Evolve called Evolve?
Having built distributed, cloud native systems for over 15 years, we've learned what it takes so build something that lasts. And what lasts are usually things that can evolve over time and deal with changing demands in elegant ways, without duct-tape.
This is what we've seen with composable systems as well. Platforms you start with, will start changing the moment you take them to production. And good ones will make this continuous change easy.
To accomodate our clients in their composable journeys, we've designed Evolve to be open to change and evolve with us and our clients.
So when Werner Vogels published his article Monoliths are not dinosaurs and voiced his belief that "Building evolvable software systems is a strategy, not a religion. And revisiting your architectures with an open mind is a must.", we took this as inspiration for our name.
