I find that microservices and this type of architecture have become a religion - you do it this way because you do it this way. You add another layer of complication because that's what you do now. You add this product because that's what you do now. Now you do it this way. Now you stop doing this thing and do this thing instead. It's all proclamations and a truly insane level of complexity and often a truly stunningly low level of performance achieved from some very powerful hardware because everything is behind at least twenty layers of abstraction and you're like, encrypting traffic which is just being passed between VMs which are on the same hardware, but because you can't guarantee that they're always on the same hardware you have to encrypt and use a proxy and... oh wow
Watching it from the outside is a bit exhausting, it just seems to be so much churn and overhead.
