I'm not entirely sure why this is sold as innovative new approach. Over the last few years, I've seen and developed micro services that are indeed cut down to specific functionality, and I've done ones where the domain was the scope. The latter has proven to produce bigger services, but a more maintainable ecosystem. Also, the division for micro services should also be dictated by the context of the business, and not just the current whims of the devs.
