There were five trends and topics for 2021, Serverless First, Chaos Engineering, Wardley Mapping, Huge Hardware, Sustainability. I did a few talks on this subject early in the year, and linked this to the sustainability advantages of serverless architectures. I blogged a summary of my map camp talk here: Map Camp 2021?—?links
