Microservices help make your projects smaller and force developers to adhear to your interface. If you ever work with batshit insane devs tripping over each other, you respect the idea of those unbreakable interfaces.
That said, I heard a dev want to break up a low traffic app that had to take in a message, encrypt it, then put it on a queue want to break that into microservices. My first reaction is "what the fuck?". My second reaction is that an encryption service might not be a terrible idea, though I doubt ensuring folks don't roll broken encryption is why the dev proposed it.
