Say more? That sounds like an old codebase, and poor programming practices. What about the codebase and your struggles with it suggests that a rearchitecture is in order? What about it suggests that microservices might be the right solution?
I apologize if that sounds critical; it's not meant to be. Microservices/SoA are often the best available solution given human and technical constraints--I'm not skeptical, just curious.
I never said microservices were a solution, I said a service-oriented architecture is a giant leap forwards for a legacy platform.
This whole thread is about how microservices are often abused when they're not necessary, and to clarify my point, I completely agree with that.
