I have been told this before too.

Currently I can't run my integration tests on my work laptop because they spin up a bunch of "micro" services, so I run out of ram and need to reboot.

The memory that Java "doesn't require" really adds up.

I believe that is why the original Java answer to microservices was EARs all within a single app server so they could share a JVM and caching. Then in production for load you could spread them all out and they can find eachother... but I've never worked in actively developed JEE (as opposed to a legacy one).

It's especially bad when you have to run both IntelliJ with multiple projects and grails.
