This strikes me as false wisdom- in software it is a mistake to look at a large job that needs to be done, and insist that that job is only the purview of megacorps like Amazon or Google.<p>The company I work for has about 200 people and our system is at large scale, many thousands of events per second, so a microservice architecture is required. (It started out as a monolith actually, and grew out of that pattern when it didn&#x27;t fit anymore.) But most people haven&#x27;t heard of us.<p>I say you should be careful when you read stuff like this. It makes so much sense! Which is why you need to be careful of course.
