Is Model Context Protocol Replacing Enterprise Service Bus?

When “Hello World” Needed Kubernetes (…and Azure Functions, and GPT-5)

There’s a new kind of developer on the loose—let’s call them the new-gen dev. Brilliant? Yes. Ambitious? Absolutely. But allergic to the word simple. Give them the tiniest task and suddenly you’re not watching coding; you’re watching an over-engineered sci-fi saga.

Step 1 — The Wrong Prompt, The Wrong Rabbit Hole 🐇

It starts innocently: a tiny task—print Hello World.

Normal world:

print("Hello World")

Done. End of story.

But in the new-gen dev world, the prompt to ChatGPT goes slightly sideways:

“How to run Hello World inside a… container?”

One extra word. One misplaced thought. ChatGPT, cheerful as ever, replies: “Here’s a Dockerfile, best practices for containers, and a Kubernetes YAML for deployment.” And just like that, Hello World is now a containerized microservice.

Step 2 — The Permission Drama 🔑

Docker doesn’t just run; it wants admin privileges.

“Sir, can you grant me local admin access? I need to install Docker… for Hello World.”

Somewhere in IT, a soul quietly reconsiders career choices.

Step 3 — Enter the Cloud Circus 🎪

Containers weren’t enough. The plan upgrades to Azure Functions:

• One trigger to run “Hello”.
• Another trigger to log “World”.
• Cosmos DB to store both words—because data is gold.
• Key Vault to protect the “o” in Hello.

Meanwhile, the cost calculator is already flirting with ₹12,000/month.

Step 4 — GPT-5 to the Rescue (or Not) 🤖

Confusion arrives, so GPT-5 is summoned:

“Explain why Hello World is not printing.”

GPT-5 responds like a thesis advisor—3,000 words, event-driven pipelines, vector embeddings for the word “Hello,” and a recommendation to add Prometheus monitoring. Congratulations: a semantic search index now exists—for two words.

Step 5 — The Buzzword Buffet 🍽️

By now the architecture looks like a unicorn pitch deck:

• Kubernetes for orchestration.
• Azure OpenAI for text validation.
• Event Hub for streaming logs of “Hello”.
• Power BI dashboard to visualize how many times “World” printed.
• And of course, a Service Bus—because what is life without queues?

The two words still haven’t printed, but the system is production-ready and possibly reusable by NASA.

Step 6 — Hydra Problems Multiply 🐍

Every fix spawns three more problems:

• Function app timeout.
• Storage account firewall blocked.
• YAML validation failed.
• A serious proposal for a disaster recovery site—for “World”.

Project managers open Jira. Stand-ups begin. The legend grows.

Step 7 — The Grand Confusion 🤯

After hours of containers, clusters, functions, AI calls, and security approvals, the result is…

Still no “Hello World.” Only a pile of half-deployed resources, heroic dashboards monitoring nothing, and one very alarmed finance team.

Final Thought 💡

Technology should make life easier. But some problems don’t need a spaceship. Sometimes all you really need is:

print("Hello World")

But where’s the thrill in that—when one wrong prompt can kickstart a containerized, serverless, AI-powered epic?

PS: Want a gag visual for this post? Add a parody architecture diagram that routes “Hello” through Docker → Kubernetes → Azure Functions → Cosmos DB → Service Bus → Monitoring → Output. Chef’s kiss.
