And in six months, they'll all be repeating that monoliths are the only way, and that microservices suck. That's called backlash. And it all goes in cycles. Are you just noticing this? It has been the case in tech for half a century.

People in tech always say that they get it: right tool for the right job. But no they don't. They just say it. They say it so that they can dismiss it and then get on with whatever atrocity they are committing.

Big vendors are big vendors because they put becoming big vendors above everything else, including even the survival of our species. Who cares what big vendors say? Maybe if you really want to make a difference, you should be telling people to stop listening to big vendors who absolutely do not have anyone else's best interests at heart. No matter what they say.
