Uh-huh. I have a little boy who just saw his first firetruck, and you can see the wheels turning in his head, because BIG RED TRUCK. He doesn't talk yet, but a seed has been planted.

Some people operate like little boys. They want the BIG RED TRUCK. They haven't considered that's it's really hard to park and gets 5MPG, or that their use cases don't involve fighting fires (for which they are not trained), but they want the big red truck so they can drive the big red truck.

Anyway, if you go the 5000 microservices route, you move all your problems from the application layer into networking and orchestration problems. Best of luck with that.
