This is the truth. I work with an application that has nearly 100 microservices and it seems like at any given point in time at least one is busted. Is it going to impact what you’re doing? Maybe. Maybe not.

But if it was just a monolith and had proper startup checks, when they roll out a new version and it fails, just kill it right there. Leave the old working version up.

Monoliths have their issues too. But doing microservices correctly is quite the job.
