You can just deploy docker containers to many of these services and the versions are pinned just like you are used to. I’m not sure what you are expecting side effects to be here



To the extent that you can put your functionality as a dependency in a container, that's not what I'm talking about. If you can do that then we are all hunky dory.

The problem is with functionality that is only available as a remote API, because for whatever reason we wanted to be cloud native rather than rely on free and open source libraries. I cannot pin that dependency version, as best I can choose which version of the API I am talking to, but if they have changed the underlying implementation then I can't request them to roll that back just for me.
