Microservices are only useful when your engineering org is too large and you need to enable the engineering process to scale. If you're at the point where you can't deploy code because the engineering team is stepping on each other, that's the point where microservices come in handy. But it also requires a heavy investment in dev-ops and on-call issues. Because when one small thing fails, it becomes catastrophic in ways you can't imagine. So there's a huge tradeoff between engineering convenience and actually customer impact and uptime risk.
