"Since its launch in 2006 with just a few microservices, (AWS) S3 has grown to over 300," I would love if articles like this would give a bit more context on the size of codebase and team.

Like is it two pizzas per microservice or 10 microservices per one pizza.

I think it's reference to a team that can be satisfied with a pizza in take out event.

Increasing number of pizzas you get bigger teams.

Increasing number of microservices you assign more of them to a single team.
