I won't let my devs build a microservice unless we already have two disparate systems (in development or production) that can use it immediately when it's ready (or very shorty thereafter). That rule seems to keep things in check, and everyone knows when they can pitch a microservice, so we don't have to keep justifying why we won't.

What exactly do you consider disparate? And how big is the company?

Medium size printing, manufacturing, and fulfillment company with a small dev team. We have a few different systems for product manufacturing and fulfillment, and they use microservices for common tasks like combining PDFs for print, product serialization (keeping track of which numbers get assigned to which products), getting shipping labels, etc.
