> most younger large enterprises use microservices

Which ones? Amazon uses roughly 1-team-1-service, not 1-team-100-*micro*services.

Facebook famously built their main service as a monolith.

Edit: and don't get me wrong, I'm not saying services are bad - as long as they are the right size and with the right design rather than tiny.

Younger. Netflix, Dropbox, Stripe, Slack, Pinterest, Reddit is working on it, Smugmug, Thumbtack, a lot more I can't think of off the top of my head. Also I'm pretty sure Amazon has teams that maintain multiple services.

Then I'm glad I keep dodging the "cool and hip" hype-fueled companies.

Netflix, Dropbox, Slack, and Pinterest are all mature, profitable public companies. Not sure if they count as hype-fueled.

I'd say you're letting your biases blind you. Netflix writes mature robust code, mostly in Java, and uses microservices.

Amazon has more than one service per "2 pizza team".

I wrote "roughly" and literally made a comparison with 100 services per team.
