I would add that just because you add these things it does not mean you can scale afterwards. All microservices implementations I've seen so far are bolted on top of some existing layer of mud and serve only to make function calls that were inside processes run over the network with added latency and other overheads. The end game is the aggregate latency and cost increases only with no functional scalability improvements.

Various engineering leads, happy with what went on their resume, leave and tell everyone how they increased scalability. And persuade another generation of failures.
