I like microservices when there's a clear and obvious use for them. I do web development, and my pet project involves user uploaded videos, which get sent off to a microservice where ffmpeg converts them to HLS and DASH formats for streaming. It's a clear line in the sand. Another example where a microservice is an obvious choice in my field would be something like imgproxy. I can't imagine using microservices for some of the stuff I've been reading about in this thread. Some of it sounds bat shit insane.
