MICROSERVICES AREN'T THE PROBLEM. INCOMPETENT PEOPLE ARE

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

Microservices themselves are not inherently problematic, but there are issues that stem from a lack of engineering competence and care within companies. It is important to hire competent individuals, provide proper education and mentorship, and maintain a focus on simplicity and code quality. Take ownership of services and don’t let external teams interfere too much.
