Microservices are a cult, but SOA is Amazon's conerstone. Most services are the right size to fit a team (so, not micro) and implement separation of concerns.

Some Amazon teams have multiple services of varying sizes. What Amazon and similar companies get right is by (generally) insisting on good engineering/business/regulatory reasons for splitting out services.

Yes. I'm not saying that is 1 team runs only 1 service, but with "microservices" people tend to refer to much smaller daemons.
