PS I think microservices excel in making people FEEL productive (doing work that is not directly benefiting the company). I have personal experience with the same product built twice, once as a monolith by a small team that worked really well and once as lots of services. The featureset and development speed is about the same, but the many-services requires 10x as many people. However by splitting into many services everyone feels productive doing auxiliary and incidental work. Only those of us who worked on the first system are able to see that the total output of the company is the same but 10x as expensive.
