Bingo! Agreed. You’ve summed it up brilliantly. Other than the scaling advantages, micro-services mainly thrive as a method of strictly enforcing separation of concerns. Maybe that’s a good reason to use them. Or maybe there are other ways to do this without incurring the management overhead of micro services. Who knows.
