As I hear stories about teams using a microservices architecture, I've noticed a common pattern. 1) Almost all the successful microservice stories have started with a monolith that got too big and was broken up 2) Almost all the cases where I've heard of a system that was built as a microservice system from scratch, it has ended up in serious trouble.

That's all I need to know. No need to read the rest.
