I would love if each micro service article would start by defining what they mean with "micro service". Wikipedia says "In a microservices architecture, services should be fine-grained and the protocols should be lightweight."[1], but that leaves lot of things open, especially what does the micro mean size wise.
When these kind of things are not defined, people may take good advice and apply it wrong way. You read articles how large companies are embracing micro services. However a "micro" for them might mean very much different thing than what is means for smaller company. Just like with "big data".
