To be honest, I really don’t get this microservice/cloud hype, stackoverflow (which let’s be honest will be bigger than that 34th startup) runs on a single (very beefy though) dedicated server machine.

I pay like 5 dollars a month for a VM with very low params, but even that will happily run anything. Especially that the DB likely can’t be shared the bus factor will remain 1.

I agree on that. And the bureaucracy evolved around "Microservice Architecture" of Kube pods, service mesh and so many other pieces required for it feel like something we are trying to do it well, what should not be done in first place.
