The cloud didn't make anyone over-engineer things. The same folks who overused all the patterns mentioned would have overused other patterns in other contexts if those were the dominant paradigms instead. Microservices are great when you have different workloads with vastly different performance needs. They're not great when you essentially have a single function running on an entire service. Many things will always be over-engineered because simplicity is hard.
