I've seen a startup with 10 devs + 60+ microservices and growing.
The team was stuck in a mindset that they just hadn't split things up enough to arrive at nirvana.
- jamesfinlayson 1mo agoBeen there before - I worked at a company where some geniuses thought that microservices would solve all of our scaling issues. We ended up with four microservices just to send an email (one to template, one to send, one to persist to database and one other which I can't remember now).
- vjvjvjvjghv 1mo agoThat sounds like like they could just have used AWS Lambda instead of microservices.
- jamesfinlayson 1mo agoThis was all on-prem stuff. But it was taken to ridiculous extremes. I've worked on something that was a knot of message queues but there was one email service.
