We have a small team and have a handful of services. We also have a fully automated CI/CD pipeline. It's worked really well. I doubt any would be considered 'micro', but instead they are designed around functional areas like authentication or backend processing.

Yeah, who knows what micro means, but that's exactly how I like to split up services. If at some point a service gets too large, split it up. Hundreds of services out the gate is a gross premature optimization. (And like most premature optimizations, ends up costing much more time both in development and in maintenance.)
