This is an engineering process failure, not a failure of microservices or shared dependencies. You should be versioning your shared library, that way you only need to make a deployment to the service that requires the update, leaving the others pegged at the previous version until a business or engineering need motivates the upgrade.

While we're at the topic of engineering process failures - is there any research/literature about software engineering in general that describes all the hows and whys of large-scale programming like that?
