I agree that microservices are vastly overused, and I would add that they are often misused If you can't set up a development environment without running a bunch of local microservices then you are probably misusing the concept. They are too tightly coupled to run independently, so they probably should not be separated All that does is slow everything down by introducing network requests where there shouldn't be, imo It also leads to situations where layoffs leave services behind that are running and mission critical but have no owner anymore in the company.
