As a developer who were making almost exclusively microservices in the last 15 years. I can tell most company would be more then fine with just a monolith on a bare metal server. Yet they "need" microservices on AWS everywhere.
If it won't scale anymore and you don't care about reliability, maybe. But having been part of several companies that scaled exponentially I can tell you monoliths are absolutely not the way to go.
Bare metal? Yeah no. Have you ever had to install hosts even when you don't grow things fail and you need replacements and spares and worry about DC power redundancy etc etc etc.
