microservices are useful, but not for the reasons listed here (or the reasons often assumed) personally, i'm more a fan of "realm of responsibility scoped services" to decouple technologies/datastores of parts of a system that do not interact by design (for instance, your user account / credentials handling from literally anything else), and then use a system like kafka (with producer-owned format) to have a common data bus that can tolerate services that process data asyncronously (or even things that keep users in the typical "refresh loop") dying for a bit.
