I think this really begs the question of what exactly is meant by a microservices architectures. In my mind this is one of those subjects that is almost infinitely variable, producing a range of responses from everyone you ask. Personally, I contribute to this mess by thinking that a great way to start an MVP is as a monolith organized into microservices, that is, to adopt some of the the build-time organizational concepts but to just run it like any old monolithic app, without the runtime complexity of a "true" microservices stack.
