As someone who has worked in several environments where microservices were used, I try to avoid deploying them as long as I can. In return for the scalability you get a lot of complexity that it can quickly turn into a near full-time job to manage. There is still no easy turn-key way to use in production and test environments, and you are left with a patchwork of solutions that require active maintenance.

Microservice architectures are a great way to solve a certain class of problems, but they can be a real pain at the same time.
