If you don't mind telling this story, why did you end up merging them back in? I would have thought that needlessly making microservices is bad but not bad enough to justify merging back.
- nicoburns 6y agoIt depends how many you have. Microservices can make things like updating dependencies a massive pain (now you have to do it 10 times)
- TheCoelacanth 6y agoIt kind of depends how well you chose the service boundaries. If you chose well, there's not a huge downside, just a bit of extra overhead. If you chose poorly, it can make it practically impossible to have a reliable app with acceptable performance. If you start out with microservices before you understand the problem space, you are much more likely to choose poorly.
