I agree that you can't maintain the same velocity you started with as the company grows, but there are definitely ways to keep as much of it as you can. Some companies slow down a lot more than others. In my experience, it ultimately comes down to SDLC. Teams need to be able to work (mostly) independently of each other. This means being strict about using API boundaries rather than sharing database tables between multiple apps, and avoiding breaking API changes that force you to deploy software written by multiple teams in lockstep. That is the real reason microservices are valuable: they decouple teams.
