I know this was probably well intentioned, but I can't shake the irony of how overly complex and over-engineered this is. If you're just starting out, please, please, please don't do this.
Man, this is a frustrating and shallow criticism. Obviously this is over-engineered. It's a demonstration of how these patterns would fit together in an application that required them.
Agree it's not the best criticism, but there's at least some validity to it. I think the main issue is that this is an extremely heavyweight architecture that will incur a disproportionate level of administrative overhead - you would need an ample team of competent full-time devs to build and maintain this system properly. It's like an advertisement for a giant excavator where the excavator is featured crushing a soda can. It's an impressive piece of machinery, but the task being used to demonstrate it is comically mismatched with its true capabilities.
Microservices solve a number of engineers scale problem, not a traffic scale problem. Tech scale is drastically more simple in a single application, because you don’t introduce an unreliable network and related complexity into all of your problems
