We’ve already seen high-profile migrations away from microservices (for example Amazon, Uber, and Google), and just recently The Pragmatic Engineer shared how teams at some companies have suffered in the wake of mass layoffs, as there simply aren’t enough staff to operate the thousands of services built by what used to be much larger engineering organizations. The tide has turned against microservices.

We’re happy to see a shift away from architecture inspired by buzzwords. In many cases (especially if you’re a small startup), you really don’t need microservices, you just need well-demarcated code. There are some good use cases for microservices however—when they address a genuine technical challenge—and this article is about one of them.
