This is similar to why we are doing it ... our app is quite simple, with about 5 moving parts. But we need it to be able to keep running continuously while allowing each part to be upgraded independently, and to be able to shut off the valve of messages going to each part so we can upgrade it and test it without bringing other parts down. Several of the parts share data models and underlying code ... so perhaps they are not true "microservices" ... but to the extent they are, for us there are some useful aspects to the fad.
