Pixar's story structure is mirrored in the evolution of software development, from monolithic applications to microservices architecture. The shift was driven by changes in technology and user demands, leading to a data explosion and the need for more flexible and scalable approaches. Microservices development broke down application needs into smaller independent units, providing flexibility, scalability, and reduced complexity. However, this approach also brought challenges such as data sprawl, cross-cutting concerns, and testing/troubleshooting difficulties. To address these issues, some database companies consolidated multiple data access methods into a single multimodel database, offering flexible data storage, real-time analytics, and simplified database administration.
