“hundreds of micro-services for a web application that barely have 1k concurrent users.”
That would not be appropriate in any of the mainstream cloud-native architecture styles.
- KaiserPro 3y ago> That would not be appropriate in any of the mainstream cloud-native architecture styles. I mean it ends up being like that. A significant number of medium sized sites bust out into micro-services at some point. Or they start off as serverless, and realise that actually its not as easy to scale as it was claimed.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Pokémon Go, thanks to an adaptation of game mechanics, literally exploded in users. Despite being world-scale, they struggled for a couple of weeks to meet the workload. World-scale naturally degrades to normal-scale if you don't stress it regularly.
