well, this is a surprisingly common case in my experience, except that the people were not "right out of high school" but "right out of a company funded seminar on microservices".

There is a high amount of correlation between people that start with microservices (instead of using them to solve specific problems after they have the problem) and people that lack any awareness about the resources they need.
And both are way more common than they should be.

Microservices can have both design utility and simultaneously been a major fad.
Lurking reddit and HN you can watch development fashions come and go. It's really really profoundly hard to hold a sober conversation on splitting merits from limitations in the middle of the boom.

How the hell... like... who decided to do Microservices in the first place if they didn't know this? This is such a rookie mistake. It's like somebody right out of high school just read on a blog the new way is "microservices" and then went ahead with it.
