> Microservices came about because Netflix Nah. You've made up a fun story, but "microservices" is already recognized as being in the lexicon in 2011, while Netflix didn't start talking about said system until 2012. > This is great for FAANG-scale companies. Certainly. FAANG-scale employees need separation. There are so many that there isn't enough time in the day for the teams to stay in close communication. You'd spend 24 hours a day just in meetings coordinating everyone. Thus microservices says instead of meetings, cut off direct communication, publish a public API with documentation, and let others figure it out — just like how services from other companies are sold. If you are small company you don't have that problem. Just talk to the people you work with. It is much more efficient at normal scale.
