systems, statelessness is a means to an end and should not be an end in itself. The author
maintains that statelessness can be a severe impediment to building efficient, reliable
systems. He concludes that if its actual advantages can be preserved in a stateful system
without too much effort, statelessness as a dogma should be discarded.<>
