A coworker at a previous four person startup was always advocating microservices.
Having to push back on that over and over was frustrating.
We didn’t even have a real devops guy, or a vpc with properly partitioned CIDR blocks to segregate our databases from the public web and we’re going to start adding the complexity of a microservice architecture?
For what! We didn’t even have _users_ yet.
But try to get folk to dogfood our application since we had no actual users besides the founder and it was like pulling teeth.

Totally backwards to me.
