We have a similar thesis in Dark. People do microservices because they have to (well, some people have to, some people do them cause they're shiny). But in terms of actually understanding your application, microservices really don't help. And they bring so much complexity with them. Our concept is to allow the decoupling of microservices, with the tooling of a monolith. Kinda hard to describe and we haven't done it yet, but basically give you the ability to write it as a monolith, but also have the separate scalability/deployment of a microservice.
