I always found the "microservices make things simpler" argument to be suspicious. At the end of the day it is just a monolith with unreliable network connections between components. Each microservice may be less complex, but you have just pushed complexity from the application layer to the devops layer. In a well written monlith the components shouldn't need to be any more complex than a microservice component.

thats because the main advantages of microservices have nothing to do with writing code.

as an example, the PathofExile.com website goes down every time the game servers restart because they share infrastructure. This should be avoided.

Someone forgot to use a load balancer with red/blue deployments.

But you can avoid this quite easily without resorting to microservices.
