- zrail 3y agoYou jest but also you're not wrong.
- nine_zeros 3y agoMy own company has 800+ microservices. I am very familiar with the politics of microservices.

- thakoppno 3y agoMy personal microservice fiefdom is about ten. My company probably has 1000. Is this ratio normal?
- nine_zeros 3y agoAny more than 1 microservice per engineer (as in, 7 microservices for a 7 engineer team) is too much for engineers to handle during on-call incidents. If management values business SLAs that is.
- mooreds 3y agoI worked at a SV startup (series A) for a while and an EM once mentioned struggling to keep the number of microservices under the number of engineers.
- aitchnyu 3y agoIs there a compelling article about the ideal microservice to engineer ratio (ie less than 1.0)?
- mooreds 3y agoI don't know of one, but this thread has some interesting discussion: https://www.reddit.com/r/ExperiencedDevs/comments/x1p5gj/my_company_has_2_microservices_per_engineer/ https://www.reddit.com/r/ExperiencedDevs/comments/x1p5gj/my_...
