On: The microservices cargo cult

The thing that nobody addresses and especially not the micro services gurus is how do you know where and what to split into micro services.

When does splitting a service add enough value that it is worth the cost of performance and added complexity?

We should grab lunch to chat about this.

Simply put, you split a microservice when you need to split teams.

Microservices aren't a solution to a technical problem, they're a solution to a social/organization problem (described by Conway's law).
