Why Are Software Engineers Quitting Microservices?

Turns out microservices aren’t the magic bullet we all assumed. Dave Farley breaks down the hidden costs—extra orchestration, tricky design patterns, and unexpected maintenance headaches—that have many teams rethinking the hype. He peppers in real-world war stories and practical lessons to show where things often go sideways (and offers tips to dodge the usual traps).

Along the way he plugs a deep-dive Microservices Masterclass, social channels, sponsors and even merch, but the core takeaway is clear: before you spin up dozens of tiny services, make sure you really know what problems you’re solving and how to keep complexity in check.
