I'd love to see more of these "you don't need microservices' type of articles be more prescriptive on when you might need them. 20 product scrum teams? 10 different team? Certain functional team separate (like you have a data infra team, search, payment processing)?

I always can't help but to think most of these articles are written by engineers working at 30 people startups or something. And there's definitely a lot of org-size and structure between the startup and a faang-sized tech giant.

I worked on a SOA setup and we hit the inflection point somewhere around 50-100 devs contributing code to the service. Honestly, we should have taken splitting up the service more seriously earlier.
