Whether they have broken up their apps into microservices doesn&#x27;t seem to matter to me. That&#x27;s just a matter of how they have organised their code, whether the actual app is monolithic or microlithic doesn&#x27;t seem to matter.<p>They have a focussed business with relatively little variation in how they make money - all their customers simply pay for a streaming service.<p>Most large companies, certainly banks anyway, have thousands of apps because there&#x27;s also thousands of different parts of the business making money in their own unique ways that have their own unique needs.<p>What works for netflix therefore can&#x27;t work for other businesses, because the actual business is much more heterogenous than that of netflix and the technology will reflect that whether it is organised in microservices or monolithically - that&#x27;s totally irrelevant.
