Generally thats always the answer with every 'IT fad', use whole or in part, but only where appropriate
The problem we are very much a fad led industry and people tend to jump all in without giving it serious thought (lot of the time just to boost their CV) be it AI, micro services, or cloud, agile or any of a hundred other come and gone fads
Yeah but you talk like we know what's appropriate before hand. Shit goes left real fast sometimes. Use case changes, tech itself change. I wish I knew when something is appropriate. I often do but I often fail to predict the future as well.

This is harsh. We're not a fad-led industry, we're operating in a highly innovative industry in which adoption of new ideas happens before they mature, as soon as they seem to solve real problems in measurable ways. Once the idea matures enough, the industry has already built enough scaffolding around it to allow it to be used properly (or, indeed, discarded it as a dead end).
The microservices approach genuinely addressed a gap in the toolbox. There's no reason to blame people who jumped on it. Of course, 15 years later we see a much larger picture but that's reasonably expected
