My experience with microservices has been just a shift in worries. I don't worry about scale or ssh configs but I rather worry about cloudformation and cloudwatch or billing impact. It has also been some challenge to get testing locally to work easily and there have been quite a lot of meetings and discussions used up on that alone. I don't find the microservice pitch from a developer perspective to be easier at all, actually harder overall. I do like the approach of gcloud or elastic bean stalk better for cloud as you have an auto-scale but still can do local testing easily for a monolith approach. The use case for microservices IMO is more like you have a couple of highly-used sets of functionality that are disproportionate to your monolith and can be split out to save money but not to build everything around microservices and pretend everything is easier. Personally I feel my cognitive load increases when using microservices purely.
