In 2016-17, I was involved with a rather large mictoservice-heavy rewrite project tha didn't go particularly well. The main reason was that microservices were actually a good fit for the _planned_ organisational structure, but not for the one that was eventually put in place. When you go from 4 vertically integrated independent teams to 2 backend devs, 2 frontend devs, and 1 "devops" without stopping 5 minutes to rethink the architecture, of course shit will happen.
