I'm definitely not confusing mono repo with monolith. Moreover, I'm designing and implementing distributed systems far longer than term "microservices" exists.
References to Netflix and other successful applications of microservices are heavily misleading. They make people feel that microservices are easy to implement and use in production. Everybody focusing at "1K microservices" and miss equally important thing: infrastructure behind these "1K microservices". The whole idea of microservices is based on moving huge part of internal complexity to infrastructure. Unfortunately many (I'd say most) organizations don't have adequate infrastructure. Switching to microservices for such organizations means that they need to build two things in parallel - the system and the infrastructure.
Hey, Thanks for the insight. It's very useful.
I still have a long way to go before i can add more value to this discussion. Needs more experience, but i really liked the building two parallel things point. Thanks, Anyways i added link to one your articles as a follow up read :)
