I hear Sam Newman's - Monoliths to Microservices is worth a read.

I've been out for a bit, what's wrong with them? Or is this being mixed up with microtransactions?

Nah, there have been some blogs recently from engineers who were bucking the Microservice trend - Notably Amazon Prime Video moved back to more of a monolith deployment and saw performance improvement and infrastructure cost reduction

I wouldn't say anything is wrong with them, the pros and cons have been there, but the cons are starting to be more recognized by decision makers

Ahh, thanks for the info!

The Prime Video example was more like moving from nano-service insanity to sanity. They basically split EVERY POSSIBLE STEP into separate lambdas. They switched to still using microservices, but they do all transcoding steps for a single video on the same microservice instance (aka sanity).
