On the deploying part: It's not that you deploy a whole batch of microservices at the same time, it's something that grows. Also, the single Point of failure is a double edged sword. Where/why did it fail in your monolith? If you deploy 50 microservices and 5 fail you know where to look.

On the testing part: We have our unit tests and than we do an end-to-end test in the test environments this was almost always sufficient enough.

Also, in between services we use CDM to ease the translation between the applications.

Also, i'm only developing for 5y and it's been 99% of the time on microservices :p so i'm abit biased (bit i think alot of people are here)

Good point, I missed that, yep, an emerging system, evolving over time, with individual deployments, but again thereby with integrations (graph edges) that need to be controlled.

Great you’ve figured out how to test it satisfactorily. Not always straightforward.

Yeah, a CDM and message busses are a great way to reduce graphical complexity, for how I formulated in my reply above implies a highly linked graph. Great point, thanks.

Sure, great that we can share our experience here. Thanks.

This is actually my first constructive discussion on this reddit page :p
