There are so many misconceptions about what microservices are or what problems they are trying to solve. Most people don't even experience the problems (yet or ever) they are meant to solve and they go straight to micro. 5 person teams making 5 services to power their product :faceplam:. A relatively simple b2b web application without any serious traffic also does not need microservices to handle its load.
People just read up on whatever seems to be the newest, coolest thing. The issue is that MS articles are usually coming from FAANG/ex-FANNG. These companies are solving problems that 99% of others do not.
As engineers we should be looking for the most effective solutions to a given business problem. Sadly, I see engineers with senior/staff titles just throwing cool tech terms/libs around. Boring tech club ftw
