Watch out for bit rot, though: it is very easy for a startup to come back to one of those microservices six months later and discover the dependencies are borked and it no longer even builds.

Each repo you create is one more set of Dependabot alerts you need to keep on top of.

That’s just a devops failure tho. Nothing to do with microservices. And Renovatebot can batch updates weekly in single PRs if the toil is bad, which really cuts down and makes the load easy to bear.
