Come on wouldn't it be great fun with a dozen diseases, broken hip bone, shitting in diapers (if one can afford) people celebrating their 177th birthday. Seems people would sacrifice their first born if such dream life is guaranteed.

This advice is good for people at top VPs/CIO/CTOs. Because mandate for micro service is coming from up top. Doing anything else is either not enterprise architecture approved or need to be justified against much powerful higher u
