I work in an organization with a lot of internal line-of-business apps for manufacturing. While there might be hundreds or thousands of users, the problem just doesn't really warrant the extra steps that microservices requires to really work. (If my users want reporting, we can just run reports against the main database. We don't need some Report service implementing CQRS or Event Sourcing to put all the disparate pieces together...)

However, I will say we've taken some considerations from the microservices discussion to heart and thought more about fault-tolerance, ci/cd, and streamlining the deployment process so we've definitely gotten some value from the zeitgeist.

That said, most of our apps end up being a fairly relaxed monolith with some service integrations here and there. And you know what? It's pretty nice sometimes :)
