People keep regurgitating this “you aint going to be google” mantra but I worked there and in reality generic microservice stack is in a totally different league of complexity and sophistication of what google and co have. This argument is basically reductio ad absurdum

So all your microservices implement sagas or other synchronisation patterns that ensure 100% data consistency?

  If you distribute the state over ALL your services and need 100% data consistency you’re holding it wrong

    Ok, how big percentage of them implement data consistency in your company? :)

The argument is simply the empirical observation that the vast majority of microservices deployments don't operate anywhere near the scale that actually requires microservices and is not going to operate at that scale in the foreseeable future. When scalability is the primary argument in favor of microservices, how is that absurd?

We keep regurgitating this, because most microservices are the 2nd coming of big data that fits into a USB stick.
