Your message is awaiting moderation. Thank you for participating in the discussion.
1. Latency, QoS, performance are part of protocol and contract. Pizza is delivered hot and it is part of contract.
2. 2 kinds of data - high volume, low latency and almost never changes; another low volume, latency not an issue and change all the time - business kind. First may use fast binary encoding. Second may use json and whatever.
Other stuff - about evolving protocols, testing, collaboration, writing contracts, cost of design.
