I always lump microservices architecture as premature optimization, one that should be used when you're maxed out of resources or everything is too spaghetti.

I love the idea. And I even pitched it for a specific project. But I had to eat humble pie when the devops nerds threw more servers at the problem and it worked better than I expected.

Sounds like that thing was already designed to be horizontally scalable. Was your error related to not realizing that? Or what was the problem being solved by microservices?
