I think microservices are bad for your mental health as an engineer. What appears to be a huge jump in quality of life, leading to fast development, better flexibility and improved scalability, turns out to be a huge pain. Constant context switching, increased stress from observing and understanding all the interactions, and the hazardous nature of adding changes to your services will easily make you burn out and lose motivation for your work.
