Microservices are only used to scale engineering teams, not software. You can have a monolith that is still deployed in many different capacities or roles to get any optimization benefits. Microservices are needed because large groups aren't good at working together on software without very rigid and well-defined boundaries.
- cmeiklejohn 3y agoThis is the correct answer. Microservices are a software engineering optimization from the socio-technical perspective primarily. 100%.
- lmm 3y agoIt would be nice to be able to make rigid and well-defined boundaries without having to add the overhead of serialization and network boundaries.

- bheadmaster 3y ago> well-defined boundaries without having to add the overhead of serialization and network boundaries Type systems and APIs do that, but only within a single language.
