The section on microservices was an uncomfortable but cathartic read. We’re getting edicts from above that we need to go all in on microservices for new modules, and I’ve been trying (unsuccessfully) to steer us away from it for exactly the reasons the article outlines.

All I get in response is “we’ll just (it’s always “just”) solve that with <insert expensive AWS service here>”. No-one seems to acknowledge that that only makes things more complex.
