Yes, as I have said again and again on hacker news in different comments Netflix went overboard with their microservices and tried to position itself as a technological company when it's not. It has made everything more complex and that's why any Netflix tech blog is useless because it is not the way to build things correctly. To understand how to do things correctly look at something like pornhub who handle more scale than Netflix without crying about it. The other day I was having this discussion with somebody who was saying distributed counter logic is hard and I was telling them that you don't even need it if Netflix didn't go completely mental on the microservices and complexity.
