This article doesn't provide any insight into when monoliths might be a better choice than microservices. It just says that if you do microservices you'll make awful mistakes and end up with a bad result.
The word "macroservices" sort of sums up the whole conversation to me. People are so convinced that microservices can't be done right that when they start to do microservices right, they think they need to invent a new name for it.
Everything that can be done successfully can also be done poorly and unsuccessfully. What's the word for walking successfully? Walking. Can you imagine what babies would say about walking if they could blog?
"Walking is an extremely popular and hyped activity that has achieved an impressive amount of mindshare in the past several months. Caregivers appear to be highly invested in walking as a key to unlock unprecedented mobility. However, if you look past the hype to the reality, walking is mostly about falling down, hitting your head, running into things, and crying because you suddenly realized you can't see your caregiver. At DoodooHeadCorp, we have developed a new approach that delivers on the promise of walking, without miring you in all of its failures. We call it realwalking. Realwalking consists of moving from place to place while propelling yourself forward in a dynamically balanced bipedal fashion. Note that by definition realwalking involves moving from place to place, a crucial distinction that guides you away from one of the biggest pitfalls (no pun intended) of walking. Traditional approaches to walking have often resulted in babies standing up and immediately falling backwards into the same place where they started. Horizontal displacement is crucial and too often ignored by babies who have gone down the rabbit hole of walking. This is where realwalking innovates, by leveraging the power of dynamically balanced bipedalism."
Just freakin' say it's hard, you should be prepared to learn along the way, and at every moment your ambitions should be scoped to your capabilities. There's no alternative that can claim differently.
The factors you should consider when considering whether you will be successful with microservices seem to be outside the scope of this blog post, so I won't address them either.
