To be fair, here is a direct quote from the parent:

»In the end, it's absolutely the case that a movement to microservices is something that should be evolutionary, and in direct need to technical requirements.«

I would argue that what you did is exactly that. Perhaps with the caveat that it should have been done earlier.

I'm not reading tha parent arguing that one should stick with a monorepo/monolith until the end of time, but rather providing a few thoughts around what might cause a push in applying microservices incorrectly.
