The first developer (who was fired) of the startup I am working for exactly presented this arguments. Not having any experience in developing and maintaining any real system and reading some consultants' blog he was confident that the microservice architecture will solve all the problems. The product got delayed by months, extremely buggy and (god knows why) it was an asynchronous architecture (the front-end would have to poll for basic CRUD operation). This costed us losing a big customer.

If you are starting out, please make sure the complexity and development overhead for a microservice is worth it. Don't listen to hypes.
