Microservices are most hyped architecture pattern, but, fortunately, in real life it's much less frequent than in articles.

That's absolutely true. Microservices are now very popular in blog posts like mine, as they're quite new and thrilling. But of course they're not magic, they address some problems that monolith have, but microservices have their own.

I'm aware that only looking on a number of publications about them we could have wrong impression that they are silver bullet for anything. Which is not true. In many cases monolithic application is better than microservies.

And as I observe I think people are staring to see it, and going back to monoliths (with a new flavours, lessons learned from microservices, like modular monolith).
