And what if a certain permutation of these hundreds of services goes down or slows down? What if one service starts generating tons of data and floods another service? Do you have backpressure figured out? Distributed systems introduce a whole new level of complexity and edge cases, but most companies never even hit the scale at which it matters. It's just a pointless, wasteful exercise in "how they do it over at Google".

(Well, ok, I'm having a hard time solving the first one with more code, but did hear this claim applied to it more than once, so I'm keeping it general.) There is a huge amount of people that sees nothing wrong with my rationale up there. I don't get it either.
