I think he makes some good points, especially about how a lot of things really should be libraries. I'm also not sure I really understand the semantics of it all though. Because what is a color microservice? Something you call to get a color? Do organisations actually make stuff like that? That's wild.

I can only speak for the places that I have worked, but I think that what he calls an "App" is what would likely get called a "Microservice" in a lot of places.

Basically, I have been places where a two person team had 3 Microservices and yet they still wanted to "refactor" it into 5 Microservices in total.

Maybe something like http://left-pad.io ...

From context, it seems to be a well known 'quintessential extreme example' of when you have obviously gone way too far into microservices. So it's probably something super trivial like coloring text maybe? Or maybe convert between color spaces?

Yeah "color service" was very confusing. I even tried Googling, could anyone explain the source of that phrase?

It almost sounds like something I’d just use a shared config for, not an entire service. I could be misunderstanding, though.
