The Costs of Microservices

For some reason, most of the people I've worked with recently are either fully into monoliths or lots of fine grained, interdependent microservices.

They don't seem to understand there's a useful middleground of adding fewer, larger data services, etc. It's like SOA isn't a hot topic so people aren't aware of it.

I've been using the term 'macro-services' to describe this middle ground.

We used to just call them, "services"

Start with a monolith and scale out the parts as needed.
