Couldn't agree more. If you have a monolith, you can probably get away doing dev ops as long as you don't grow too much. We have a handful of microservices and trying to keep up with the ops work has been hell, though part of that is due to AWS's tools. And this is without even a growing user base, just a growing app base. Burn out is definitely a problem in either case.

This is interesting. I've had a lot of people on the internet tell me that a monolith must become unmaintainable at some point, and the only way to keep it serviceable is to break it up into microservices.
