When we started switching over to microservices, originally we were going to have some sort of standardized message format, which would include all of the info that service would need to do its job.
However, there were too many people building it too quickly, and it's since devolved into a spaghetti pile where almost every microservice has about 3-4 others on which it is dependent (and a handful on which those are dependent) - to query for some bit of data, set off an async task, etc. This obviously complicates the development environment significantly.
When I want to add a feature to a service it can take hours trying to bring up the correct dependencies, update their configuration, fix the errors that they're returning due to their dependencies being down, and set up the necessary databases and ssh tunnels.
