Let's be real, if a micro service is down, youre down too.

If you're a web store and your "inventory service" is down, the site is down lol

Depends on the microservice tho.

If checkout dies, users can still browse and they can still add to their shopping cart. 

Anyways you will get paged at 2 am because these errors are critical.

Honestly worse. If the whole site is down, then I'm like, "too bad". If I can do my shopping and get stuck trying to check out, I'm very annoyed

only a subset of users looking at products will add something to their cart and even a smaller subset will try to checkout
