The benefits of microservices <i>aren&#x27;t</i> architectural. The point re. library APIs vs services APIs is completely correct, because that&#x27;s actually not what the microservice style addresses.<p>The point is rather organizational&#x2F;operational - Being able to independently deploy, scale, monitor and manage different parts of the system.<p>That allows you to distribute ownership of the system, and also allows partitioning, so that a failure in one component need not effect the whole system.
