It seems that Amazon started using microservices in 2002. Do you think 12 years is not enough to learn on mistakes?

Amazon uses microservices because they need to at their scale. But there are maybe a few dozen companies that operate at that scale. 12 years isn't enough time to learn a lot when there are only a few people doing it, just as in e.g. spaceflight.

do they really use 'microservices'... or just services (SOA)? what are microservices anyway?
