> What problem are you solving with microservices?

As I've already said in this thread, microservices solve primarily organizational problems. They define concrete organizational barriers and limit discussions with stakeholders on issues pertaining to service contracts, and ensure that service owners have complete freedom, responsibility, and clear accountability, on all aspects of their design, maintenance, and operation.

Scalability is a welcomed benefit but lower in importance, below reliability and perceived performance.

Any other discussion on microservices boil down to strawmen.
