We keep regurgitating this, because most microservices are the 2nd coming of big data that fits into a USB stick.

The argument is simply the empirical observation that the vast majority of microservices deployments don't operate anywhere near the scale that actually requires microservices and is not going to operate at that scale in the foreseeable future. When scalability is the primary argument in favor of microservices, how is that absurd?

So all your microservices implement sagas or other synchronisation patterns that ensure 100% data consistency?

If you distribute the state over ALL your services and need 100% data consistency you’re holding it wrong

Ok, how big percentage of them implement data consistency in your company? :)
