Microservices are overkill for a lot of thing and right now are useful, but extremely overrated, technology. I wouldn't allow most engineers I know to touch in

  Nope. It is not. There you go. I gave a similarly strong argument to yours. Or did you really want to give arguments but you forgot it?

    The arguments are well laid out by other responses, but the gist of it is that 90% of devs are wasting their time thinking about the details of infrastructure code, as it does not pertain to their skillset and it takes _years_ to master it. You cannot get junior engineers contributing to infra, or most Semi-senior engineers either. You need a ton of upfront thinking about releases, policies, backouts, risk, etc. And tbh, if you're thinking about those things it makes no sense that you also focus on user-facing features.
