The majority of the posts I see about microservices talk about the differences vs monoliths and how everyone, including myself, is rushing to build microservices in this fast paced world we live in. Recently, I read Implementing Domain Driven Design by Vaughn Vernon, which seemed unrelated to microservices at first but soon changed my perspective on things.

In this short post, I will show a couple of symptoms that I found are a sign your microservices architecture might suffer in the long run.
