You need to _operate_ your software. The way a company with 10,000 software engineers operates their software is very different than how a company with 5 software engineers does it.

Microservices are the prime example of thing you should never do at small scale. They're a solution to an organizational problem of organizing large teams. Typically each team has a single microservice... and then 5-person companies will go all microservices and support 20 services with one team, and then get confused why it's not going well.
