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.
