Microservices is a polar extreme to monoliths.
It's not about making each macro-service into 1000 micro-services. It's about making your macro-services smaller, instead of all-consuming monoliths.
The problem is that monoliths will never be hackable. A LEGO-kit is hackable. A monolith just have hooks and connectors, but the product itself will always be static.
You can get things shipped as pre-assembled LEGO kits (both metaphoric or not)?
