Hi, original author here!

Quickly, on the "elementary" nature of the post, this was adapted from a lightning talk I gave, and so it was sort of designed to be a very quick introduction into the problem space.

Also this was meant to be (and this is my own fault for maybe not more carefully spelling this out) aimed at people just starting out with a new project or endeavor, as a warning that "just sprinkling some microservices on it" is not a magical panacea for scalability or good software design.

Thanks for taking the time to read and comment!
