You said something in your post here that really stuck out to me btw. You mention that you’re “considering moving closer to a pure microservice solution”. I think that’s really key ... folks (myself included) write about microservices as if it’s an all or nothing thing. But in reality, you can partially adopt microservices where it makes sense, and not where it’s doesn’t. I suspect the place where most folks should start, is shove their monolith in a container, and add microservices around it slowly as needed, rather than going through a huge rearchitecture.
