  Cloud-native and microservice architectures have taken over the development
world by storm. While being incredibly scalable and resilient, microservice
architectures also come at the cost of increased overhead to build and
maintain. Google's Service Weaver aims to simplify the complexities associated
with implementing cloud-native systems by introducing the concept of a single
modular binary composed of agent-like components, thereby abstracting away the
microservice architecture notion of individual services. While Service Weaver
presents a promising approach to streamline the development of cloud-native
applications and addresses nearly all significant aspects of conventional
cloud-native systems, there are existing tradeoffs affecting the overall
functionality of the system. Notably, Service Weaver's straightforward
implementation and deployment of components alleviate the overhead of
constructing a complex microservice architecture. However, it is important to
acknowledge that certain features, including separate code bases, routing
mechanisms, resiliency, and security, are presently lacking in the framework.
