Rewriting in go sounds great, but why microservices? Isn’t the target audience the “throw this onto a Raspberry PI / NAS and forget it” crowd?

I can’t imagine people wanting to administer dozens of independent daemons for such a setup.

I’m guessing one potential advantage could be that it makes open source development with numerous contributors easier to manage.

Different contributors focus on smaller codebases without worrying about building the whole monolithic product.

A lot of applications are shipped as a bunch of services with included supervisor, and normally the administrator is not expected to fiddle with individual services. See for instance Gitlab.

The product is clearly targeted at enterprises: https://owncloud.com/product/
