> In my experience, it seems the majority of folks know the pitfalls of microservices, and have since like... 2016?
Majority maybe, but not everyone. I was at a place in 2018 where a guy turned up declaring that microservices would solve all of the company's performance issues (he'd heard that AWS S3 was made up of over 500 microservices so we must do the same, but he obviously had no idea about the depth of features in S3 so hit take was more is better).
So we got like 30 microservices in the space of year which gave the company 10x complexity, complicated and fragile local development and... dubious wins like faster email sending, but no improvements to true bottle-necks of the system.
