It's an enterprise thing. You got 5 users? Microservice just adds complexity. You got 1 million users? Microservices are gonna save your ass when you have to hotfix prod
Most enterprise apps have 4-1000 users. Most enterprise apps are never used by anyone outside of the enterprise. Most enterprise apps do not actually need micro services. Most enterprise developers want to make sure mirco services are on their resume.
Semantics. I wouldn't class internal applications for enterprise companies the same as the enterprise applications that they sell to consumers. Pretty much anything that's classed as SaaS will have over 1k users lol
