This is one reason I am an opponent of microservices generally. Every organisation I've worked for is made of shit and straw bound together with a solution of piss. ergo a monolithic crap pile is were they should aim. Plus it's easier to run a hundred monoliths than it is to run 100 services. This is on the basis that running 100 instances of something the same with no inherent complexity in each instance is much easier to automate, build and manage than 100 things that are different and have to talk to each other.
