Occupy the cloud: distributed computing for the 99%

The same seems to be true for microservices. People can't or don't want to write well structured code so they need to be forced to do it by running different parts of their code on different machines.

I thought microservices were mostly https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway%27s_law in action?

Depends how micro they are. I've seen teams own dozens of stupidly small microservices.

it is also a potential piecemeal way to migrate a monolithic app to the cloud. It can be used to offload a function from a larger applications that doesn't scale well with the application itself. (i.e. batch analytics). It can also be a nifty way to a specific function in a different tech stack if that makes it easier.
