Hi, author here. Thank you for your feedback, and I'll be sure to take it into account in future writing. I don't have any preference for or against microservices, as long as the benefits they bring outweigh the drawbacks which come along with such an approach. The goal wasn't so much to rant against cargo culting, but to provide some counter points along with a more measured progression for moving towards microservices. I agree that the points at the end should be what such a transition looks like, but it's amazing how often companies skip the first two steps and try to immediately break up their monolith as a form of technical bankruptcy, which is rarely warranted. Thank you again for the comments!
