Tell this to Instagram or WhatsApp before acquisition. ;-) They have scaled well enough, IMHO. On the other hand, I agree that for the larger teams, microservices make sense. It's much easier when you can roll back a failed deployment and block new releases just for your service, while the team tries to fix it. Also, monitoring and resource accounting is easier. All at the cost of some inefficiencies compared to a monolith.
