Microservice architecture seems like the most common sense architecture possible. There are very few reasons not to employ it. LinkedIn and Amazon both rely havily on a microservice architecture (LinkedIn with the additional emphasis on Kafka as a central event stream), and those two companies are extremely well positioned because of it. Microservices greatly increase flexibility of the architecture, reduce dependencies, and allow bizdev to move faster. Honestly, complete no-brainer all around.
One piece conspicuously missing from the literature on microservice architectures is a critical one: How do you emulate the architecture on local dev machines? Docker is obviously a big step forward in this regard, but the tooling around local MSA is still developing.
I would love to read about how companies are solving the problem of emulating MSA in the local dev environment.
