Microservices are difficult to justify with a small team (or a single person team in this case). If your monolith has obvious modules that can be carved out, you _need_ to scale them independently and for some reason you can't just deploy multiple monolith copies, then it may be worth it to do microservices. At large companies, the calculations are different. Even when monoliths would be the best fit, they may still carve out microservices. How else would they be able to ship their org chart? :)
