It's amazing what modern hardware can do when used correctly. Consider moving to micro-services only AFTER reasonable algorithms on commodity bare metal show real capacity limits. There's still higher spec bare metal to carry said designs through a refactor / expansion based on where the performance bottlenecks are. Even absent literal micro-services there's still partitioning / sharding which can spread out many of the pain points.
