At my first job I inherited a 250K LoC monolith which I had to continue to develop and also operate. It wasn't great but I got by. I don't think I could have managed if that 250K LoC had been strewn across a dozen microservices with all the accompanying complexity and extra degrees of freedom in deployment and operation. SoA is superior when you have large numbers of devs coordinating and working on the same product. For smaller teams monoliths seem to be the way to go.
