There was a perceptive comment on HN a few days ago [1] to the effect that microservices are a useful way to package a body of code if the team that is consuming the code doesn't trust the team that built it. This brings to mind Conway's law - "Any organization that designs a system (defined broadly) will produce a design whose structure is a copy of the organization's communication structure" [2] - and also that meme from a few years back about the internal structure of tech companies [3]. So you can argue that monolith/non-monolith it not purely a tech-driven consideration [1] Too lazy to keep looking right now [2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway%27s_law https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway%27s_law [3] https://www.reddit.com/r/ProgrammerHumor/comments/6jw33z/internal_structure_of_tech_companies/ https://www.reddit.com/r/ProgrammerHumor/comments/6jw33z/int...
