It's amazing how easily people swap "I can't see how to use this in the contexts I'm familiar with" to "it doesn't make any sense at all".

Being myself - just a few years ago - a long time strong proponent of tightly coupled monoliths, I can't believe how blind and foolish I was in my fundamentalist rejection of loosely coupled architectures.

Monoliths do just fine up to a certain level of structural complexity. Above that, asynchronous service-like architectures are the only viable way to go.

Microservices is an attempt to see if the services patterns work below that waterline, down to the function level. That's why I find microservices at least interesting.

At any rate, it's a cost/benefit balance game, not an ideology.

Edit: clarity.
