You can't solve your way out of a complex problem that you have created and which wasn't needed in the first place. The entire microservices thing was overly complex with zero benefits

I spoke to multiple Netflix senior technicians about this.

They said that's the whole shtick.

That's a ridiculous statement. PrimeVideo is the leader in terms of sports events streaming over internet and it is composed of hundreds of microservices.

Live streaming is just much harder than streaming, and it takes a years of work and a huge headcount to get something good.
