Wise words. They boil down to a very simple truth that was as accurate half a century ago as it is today: Make things as simple as possible, and as complex as necessary. I can always make something more complex than it is now. As you say, we can take out things from a monolith and make them into a service. It can be hard to do so, sure. But nowhere near as hard, as trying to get complexity OUT of a system once it's in. Everyone who ever tried to revert a bunch of microservices back into a Monolith knows exactly what I am talking about. It usually amounts to the same work as a ground-up rebuild.
