A wake up call is coming to theses startups because the money has stopped flowing. I suspect a lot of these startups replicating Google in both interview style and architecture are going together fail fast. Read up on HN post on Fast. Someone was commenting one how they failed the interview because the HM wanted someone that wasn't a cowboy. They wanted someone that build microservices like Google. Being a cowboy is what you need to find PM fit. Focusing on microservices when you don't even have enough customers is a huge waste of money and detrimental to your company because of operational complexity. Any changes that should take 5 mins, now takes 3 hours. Fast had so little customers that an engineer suggested that they run the system under a single AWS monolith and was quickly shot down.
