I think this hits the nail on the head. People are trying to find the "one true way" for microservices vs monoliths. But it doesn't exist. It's context dependent.

It's like the DRY vs code duplication conversation. Trying to dictate that you will never duplicate code is a fool's errand, in the same way that duplicating code whenever something is slightly different is foolish.

Context is everything
