> Not a silver bullet; you increase api versioning overhead between services for example.

That's actually a good thing. That ensures clients remain backwards compatible in case of a rollback. The only people who don't notice the need for API versionin are those who are oblivious to the outages they create.

The comparison is with a monolith where versioning isn’t required at all, since you can refactor all clients atomically in one change.
