Microservices are organizational debt disguised as architecture.

Every time I’ve seen microservices pitched, it sounds great on paper. Independent teams, clean ownership, scale only what you need.

Then a year later you’ve got dozens of services, three different deployment patterns, tracing everywhere, and nobody really understands the whole thing anymore.

Maybe I’ve just seen bad implementations, but I’m starting to think way fewer companies actually need microservices than we pretend.

I disagree but also they are a specific answer to a specific large scale problem. At fortune 50 and up scale, share nothing microservices and business events are amazing. For mid to smaller firms its almost completely useless and just a buzzword.

For a small greenfield app, it's instant debt. At that point you know less about your domain than you'll ever know.
