Distributed systems are hard, and building a microservice SOA that is functional is damn hard.
I feel like a lot of people are on the hype wagon of Docker and Microservices right now, they arnt building products, but instead bike shedding with technology decisions which are often not fit for their application. A lot of the people reference to Netflix, Amazon etc, who are companies who had real issues, real traffic, and real products and a real reason why they evolved into a microservice SOA.
Other people reference half finished non production implementations, or people like Hailo who took 2 years to build a technically impressive MicroSOA, replacing their PHP/Java stack, whilst their product stagnated and business declined.
