Not my experience. Most Laravel projects I've seen are in a much much better shape than even the most minimal "microservices" I've seen around. You get so much done for you with Laravel that it makes it a bit more difficult to mess up.

I've seen microservices that had absolutely no guardrais going off the hill too many times. At my previous job "migrations" where bash scripts with SQL in them because they "didn't like ORMs and they were slow". LOL. They were handling signup form POSTs and profile updates.
