You took the words right out of my brain as I was scrolling through the comments. My internal dialogue literally was "This is EJB all over again", which admittedly may be a bit too much but as they say history never repeats but often rhymes :-)

In this go around I think the value of discreet, well factored services clearly have merit but it's really a question of just how often you truly have something that's a good candidate for this pattern. From what I've seen in some places it's used as a reason to rewrite systems and not worry about doing a good job creating well abstracted software because the integrity of the overall system is some other team's problem.

This article is really well written and does a great job shedding light on the truth. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for the comments. When I was writing the article I kept on thinking that really this is just the same old fundamental problem in a new guise, which is in many ways just how to manage component boundaries and dependencies, particularly when you are looking at a system which is being handled by more than one person.
