Microservices are a great solution to the problems you run into at high scale.

But they come at great cost. If you don't actually HAVE the problems they solve, do everything in your power to avoid them. If you can just throw money at larger servers, you should not use microservices.



Biggest problem here is way too many people think they have those problems or they will have them in a second.


Some people think a 100 gib database is ”big data”. That can fit in ram on consumer grade hardware.
