Micro services don’t solve any of those either.

What specifically do they not solve? Because in this thread we're, very specifically, discussing isolating the well maintained monolith from risky product produced by consultants, which microservices absolutely do solve.

I think the hot trend these days is to bash on microservices. I hear that a lot here, random blogs, youtube videos by self proclaimed top guns.

If hacker news is correct, microservices is the #1 worst idea of software engineering.

And whoever promotes them is either a kid with no experience or a complete moron.

Well, speaking for myself, I was against them from the start. Maybe the rejection of distributed objects (when it came) was a hot trend also but it didn't make it wrong.

Any of the problems above.

If you have a problem with bad consultants then solve that. Trying to solve it by jumping into microservices you will just have bad consultants writing your microservices equally badly, or even worse.
