> As you said yourself, microservices do work well for large companies, so why pretend it doesn't? Same reason we don't teach people anything about driving an 18 wheeler when they apply for their regular driver's license. A small minority of drivers will ever even have to think about the topic and when they do, they'll seek out a specialized trucker school or their employer will guide them through the process using institutional knowledge. There is zero value to exposing people with learner's permits to the nuances of driving massive trucks. Unlike the truckers, however, tech bloggers have hyped up the concept of microservices as a panacea to all developers, resulting in a disastrous cargo cult. There is no interesting conversation to be had about microservices in this context. That discussion is going to be had with all the other senior-most engineers in an organization because any org incapable of such an in-depth discussion internally should not be using microservices.
