IT Runs on Java 8

Unlike the others, I'm going to disagree with what you've said. If you have a mono-repo set up you can develop like it's a monolith but with the added benefit that you don't have deploy the whole macro-service at once.

I think people are just spinning up a bunch of unorganized services and calling them micro and then complaining about it.

If you're on a small team that can build a clean monolith, the work to make them microservices is imo pretty trivial.

The main point was that its a lot easier to make those design mistakes whwn using microservices. Like you said there is no tool to easly spot and fix those issues. In case of a monolith there are such tools and often resolve to simply view dependency graph in your IDE.

I have never seen a microservices architecture where transactions spanning services were trivial.

If you need to do that then you've most likely cut along the wrong service boundry. Same thing can happen in a monolith, although you can kludge something out with spaghetti code I suppose. Doing it the right way in both cases takes about the same amount of work.

How do you cut your service boundaries?
