There's quite a sizing range between monolith and microservice.

If all their It needs are behind micro "micro" services, that figure is understandable.

Outside of the map, taxi, food, payments, onboarding, they also have monitoring, deployment, HR, billing, legal, taxes, internationalized stufd, and the usual "..." for what I'm missing.

If you just take a standard ERP, you could easily split it in dozens even hundreds of microservices.

And you're pinpointing to the problem with such news.

Everybody knows what is a monolith but nobody really knows what is the size of a "micro" service.

Just for taxes, do you make one service for taxes or one for each recipient of taxes? (In the EU, is it one for each country, in US, one for each state + federal ) with a different team managing each service?

But how does your "..." sum up to 4000?
