I like Microservices.

I don't! I wholeheartedly hate them. Yes I use them a lot when I have to. And over the years I had to use them for different reasons, but willingly going for microservices architecture because of the reasons outlined in the article above is just outright stupid. I can only assume the person writing the article never had to deal with microservices in the long run. Only a junior developer can get excited about having to deal with small chunks of codebase and this is understandable. Dealing with 1 small chunk however is one thing. Dealing with 10 different chunks each running a different version is another.
