I certainly agree to DHH's point. I did a talk at PHP World last year, with essentially the same message[1]. At VideoBlocks we're slowly starting to migrate our monolith into a service-oriented architecture where it makes sense. E.g. our new search service is now a standalone microservice. But I think that we're still very far off to an architecture that consists solely of microservices. I'm a huge fan of the hybrid approach in the interim, it allows us to migrate slowly and only when it makes sense. This means that we've had plenty of time to establish orchestration and deal with all of the small infrastructure edge cases that other commenters in this thread has been struggling with.
