Lucky you, that you haven't been hit by the purists.

I am currently getting a hard intro into a microservice first architecture. Where customers are managed in one service, users are managed in a different one, user operations are in a third one. All have their own databases and much of the data is copied between them. There are microservices, that are used by only one other microservice.

That's where we are now - arguing about the validity of "microservices are the best/first" approach.

Microservices are defined as self contained, highly granular, separately developed and deployed horizontally scalable systems.

Think about the debates about Linux vs Hurd, that's where we are.
