I think what's frustrating is the lack of support in moving from a monolith to a microservice architecture. I haven't built a lot of them myself, but it feels like you're rolling your own framework/architecture whenever you need to make the transition. Is that anyone else's experience, or is it just not possible to codify best practices?
