This is a good question to think about. Right now, they don't have any relationship beyond serving different parts of my group, but perhaps they could be redesigned in a more cohesive way.

The core pessimal problem presented by microservices is this: someday some stakeholder is going to ask for some information to be joined together or interlinked -- and that information will have been unwisely put into separate services ... and now you'll be doing joins manually via web service calls -- over the network -- and somewhere the ghost of E.F. Codd is spinning in circles and cursing you.
I think it's actually quite rare for companies to have data so actually autonomous and unrelated that it does not logically relate to anything else in the organization.
My biggest grief with microservices is the fact that it's effectively become a war on having a coherent logical normalized relational data model inside an organization.
