I certainly agree to DHH&#x27;s point. I did a talk at PHP World last year, with essentially the same message[1].<p>At VideoBlocks we&#x27;re slowly starting to migrate our monolith into a service-oriented architecture where it makes sense. E.g. our new search service is now a standalone microservice. But I think that we&#x27;re still very far off to an architecture that consists solely of microservices.<p>I&#x27;m a huge fan of the hybrid approach in the interim, it allows us to migrate slowly and only when it makes sense. This means that we&#x27;ve had plenty of time to establish orchestration and deal with all of the small infrastructure edge cases that other commenters in this thread has been struggling with.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;speakerdeck.com&#x2F;minicodemonkey&#x2F;microservices-with-laravel-lumen?slide=23" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;speakerdeck.com&#x2F;minicodemonkey&#x2F;microservices-with-la...</a>
