At a goto; talk, an Uber engineer said they had so many microservices it was impossible to really count how many they had: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kb-m

  That really depends how you count them and how you manage the entire application landscape. For audit, compliance, security, and risk management purposes you really need to know what the service is doing and what criticality level it is. Surely, you can make the creation of services really easy - so easy that it's not even viable to define meaningful business names for the services, thus creating an unmaintainable mess. But still, having an application registry or automation that crawls the cloud resources for services can be done afterwards without significantly impacting the speed of creating new services.
