I mean, the thing I work on hada great idea. Use microservices, because we genuinely have a need to independently scale different parts.

Few years down the line and there's an endless list uff services, most with a single instance doing nothing all day, and having memory and CPU overhead of course. And being a nightmare to figure out what code is whereas they all communicate independently.

So much this. Especially in a larger company it can be basically impossible to find the code that implements an endpoint, and of course even if you can find it you can't trace it in a debugger.
