How granular are your services? I've heard a lot of talk about microservices without much talk about how micro they are. As someone who's happy with the approach, would you mind giving a little context in terms of what sort of degree you've split the system down?


They are of varying sizes. We have maybe 3-4 per developer. And they vary in size. The smallest are maybe 5-6 python classes.

To be honest, we still have a monolithic application at the heart of our system that we've been slow to decompose, though we're working on it. We deploy it on a regular cadence and use feature flags heavily to make it play nice with everything else.
