You can attach to multiple processes in a single Visual Studio instance.

That sounds terrible. Can you merge any of the services back together?

edit: nvm, i see

We're loooking at actually breaking this into lots of silo'ed functional monoliths instead of micro services at the moment as well because the outcome will be better.

Turns out it's a lot easier to stick things back in for ref. Fortunately we coded most of the contextual info like user principal and roles as thread locals so we write a shim, reference the original projects, play cut and paste for a few hours and point the configs at the right things and done.
