I hear Sam Newman's - Monoliths to Microservices is worth a read.
Wasn't everyone here up in arms against micro services a week ago or so?
Just curious what everybody thinks.
I've been out for a bit, what's wrong with them? Or is this being mixed up with microtransactions?
Nah, there have been some blogs recently from engineers who were bucking the Microservice trend - Notably Amazon Prime Video moved back to more of a monolith deployment and saw performance improvement and infrastructure cost reduction

I wouldn't say anything is wrong with them, the pros and cons have been there, but the cons are starting to be more recognized by decision makers
People make microservices way too small sometimes. Then you have the opposite problem with people trying to cram everything into one system. You need to recognize when some functions are related and should go together, or when something has a weird dependency and should just be separate.
@xilliah @dandelion afaik microservices are fine. Just like a monolith can be fine. Maybe it just depends what you are sick of working with. :D
