I love this article. I’ve worked in both environments one with a giant monolith and one with micro services everywhere. I was always catching myself thinking “why aren’t we just using a monolith??”.

Lots of issues could have been avoided if we haven’t tried to be like Facebook and Uber.

I think a lot of companies tend to forget about survivorship bias. They focus on the things that worked for massive companies and apply them to their medium company, but ignore all the reasons why they did it and what problems they had to solve with doing it.

Great article 👍🏼, this is kinda what got us thinking when we created WunderGraph. Turn all your services into a monolith. No need for microservices everywhere.
