> Microservices are a design pattern for organisations as opposed to technology

Very true in my experience. The main benefit is letting small groups of people work independently without stepping on each other’s toes. Although I’ve worked on a project where multiple teams owned micro services that were supposed to be standardized with each other, and it just lead to endless meetings and requirements churn since nobody was willing to work on the other teams service but everyone had an opinion on what the cross-team standard should be. Learning the diplomatic way to say “mind your own business” was more important than any technical skills for getting code merged.
