And this is why micro-services are poor architecture. If you need an entire service for every DB activity you are in for a terrible time.

It's not a service for every DB activity; this is a fundamental misunderstanding about what microservices are, how to use them, etc so of course you're going to have a bad time with them. :)
Yes let's make every function call its own service with monitoring, a database, the network stack, management, and so on and then enjoy wonderful performance and easy management
Hmmm, great idea that way cloud providers can extract insane amounts of money from unsuspecting organizations. Let's call it function as a service :)
That doesn't seem advisable. Maybe you should try microservices instead?
