Well-Architected Monoliths Are Okay
A recurring pattern that I have noticed:
1) a company the size of Amazon, Facebook, or Google runs into a problem that comes from their gigantic scale, or the fact that they're trying to do something very different (e.g. Google Maps compared to old-style web pages)
2) Big Company comes up with a new technology to solve their problem
3) Many, many small companies that will never become big enough to need this, and are doing far less exotic things that require it, will try to make their ordinary web page into a microservice single page app with a NoSQL backend, because that's what successful companies do.<p>Imitating success often makes sense; after all, we don't want to imitate failure.  But your company is almost certainly not facing issues at all like Amazon, Facebook, or Google, and also does not have nearly as many programmers to do it.
