Why the hatred towards Microservices? It's just where they are on the Fad Cycle. Nothing more, nothing less. New ideas come into vogue in this industry, get hailed and cherished and promoted left and right, then they lose favor, fall into disrepute, and start getting hated on with just as much fervor as they had previously been hailed. Then some new thing (or a repeat of an older idea that's being rehashed for another run through the cycle) hits, and the cycle starts anew. Lather, rinse, repeat. Are microservices inherently bad No. would you enjoy working with them? Quite often, yes. But like everything else, it's all about context. "Use the right tool for the job at hand" and all that. Do you think, honestly, that it is just a trend that comes from the big companies and book sellers and eventually will dissapear and there is no a real need for it for the vast majority of cases? I do think there's an element of that. Ideas that hit the "fad cycle" mentioned above do often get carried there by momentum which comes from their association with popular organizations, and then get misapplied or used when they aren't really needed. That in turn feeds into the back half of the cycle where people turn against $THING.
