30 microseervices? Seriously? What on earth is the justification for having that amount of complexity? I have worked with very complex, very large monolith and client/server applications for 25+ years. And I never had trouble maintaining the code or add functionality. My guess is that using microservices was basically an excuse to rewrite the application? And that rewriting it to a new cleanly designed monolith might have been a better choice. Using “advanced” technologies like Modules and Libraries. A friend of mine has taken over a legacy (20+ years) 100+ microservices application. And it is an absolute nightmare. The complexity of building and deploying it is the worst I have ever seen. 10x worse than then worst monolith I have ever worked with. Debugging is a nightmare. Synchronisation issues makes auto testing almost impossible. The only good thing is that all the microservices are written in the same programming language. Imagine if 5+ different languages and build systems were used instead? The complexity would have been out of this world.
