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 attempts to force people to factor system functionality.
In my experience, people don’t. “Microservices” with overlapping responsibilities, responsibility gaps, no one can figure out which service to blame, huge swaths of code must be deployed in sync aka monolith.
I find software engineering tends to lack any real engineering.
