I hear Sam Newman's - Monoliths to Microservices is worth a read.

Nah, there have been some blogs recently from engineers who were bucking the Microservice trend - Notably Amazon Prime Video moved back to more of a monolith deployment and saw performance improvement and infrastructure cost reduction

I wouldn't say anything is wrong with them, the pros and cons have been there, but the cons are starting to be more recognized by decision makers

I mean, Prime Video is still a bunch of microservices, it comes down to where you define the boundary between 'service and 'microservice'. That blogpost was specifically about "the Prime Video audio/video monitoring service". Eg it's a service/microservice for QA, not for all of Prime Video. I'm sure there are seperate services for billing, browsing, captioning, and streaming.

And although the author called it "moving from microservices to monolith" it's more about moving from serverless to more traditional compute.
