I once worked with a team that wanted to use Microservices, because they felt like a Monolith approach for their webapp wouldn't support their user base long term. They had 400 users, serving roughly 40 requests per second. Their database was small enough to fit into RAM on my cell phone. -- I'm sure there are 100% valid reasons for billion dollar corporations to use microservices. But most of the uses of it that I've experienced personally were not really warranted for any technical reason, and were usually some combination of non-tech/non-product problems bleeding into the codebase. (Whether that's inexperience, mismanagement, communication issues, lack of leadership, political strife, tacit permission to silo oneself off, developer boredom, or whatever.)
