well... no, splitting a monolith once it has grown past the point where services make sense is incredibly difficult. My last employer spent a couple of years doing it and ultimately gave up. There is just way too much interdependency to split it up cleanly.

So the key here is good engineering leadership to recognize when that point arrives, and push the company to start the transition.

And indeed, microservices solve a organization problem not an engineering problem. When I taught the architecture to new hires, I always say: a service is the largest piece of system that stays together in a reorg :)
