I'm sure people do use huge heaps, but most web applications I know of (microservice or not) store the bulk of their data in a (separate) database. So, unless your application is a database, which might want a huge heap so it can cache a lot in-memory, I don't think huge heaps are really necessary. IMHO, at least.
