The cost of being able to efficiently deploy 5 or so services is probably 5x the cost of deploying your single Monolith (this can be a mostly manual process only doable by 1 or 2 people). However the cost of deploying 100 services is still only about 5x the cost of deploying the single Monolith.<p>There&#x27;s certainly a size threshold below which a microservices approach hurts more than helps.
