Sure poorly implemented solutions rarely solve problems well.

But implementing microservices is not an unsolvable problem. It's a problem that 1000s of organizations have solved.



I haven't seen one that has done it well personally. Missing in this is so much of how it might be done right. There are so many dragons. Vendor lock in, logging, debugging, development (can I run the application on my laptop?), versioning. How far will out of the box tooling get me vs what I have to build. Etc etc etc.

When the "new shiny" effect wears off you usually find a turd that smells worse than what came before. Which is why we see this thread ever month or two and will until the tooling catches up and companies stop creating the distributed turds or the method falls out of grace because people finally realize you can scale simple systems pretty far vertically.
