If I had a nickel for all the clients I’ve seen with micro services everywhere, and 90% of the code is replicating an RDBMS with hand coded in memory joins.

What could have been a simple SQL query in a sane architecture becomes N REST calls (possibly nested with others downstream) and manually stitching together results.

And that is just the read only case. As the author notes updates add another couple of levels of horror.

In the good old days, if you did that, you would rightfully be labeled as an "amateur".
