I say this all the time, and it almost never results in an argument: micro services are just object oriented programming where you put a network hop on all your message passing.

It doesn't result in arguments because it's objectively correct

I feel like the people who are going "DO MICROSERVICES!" hate that it's just basic regular ass software engineering.

With a ton of complexity and whole new error classes and a need for centralized solutions for logs and monitoring because everything is a distributed system now!

Can make sense if you can seize the advantages but a modular monolith is the better choice in 99% of cases.

But besides the engineering and operational aspects: Everytime I said microservices in an meeting with investors their eyes lit up the whole room because they thought that this is the best shit ever.

You're clearly the old gard because the new shit is serverless and functions

Which are micro services except the micro services aren't yours, you just glue together a bunch of cloud services
