I don't understand how you can say this with a straight face, especially "100x". Operationally, multiple services is always more complex.

Unless there is something unique about the setup (E.g. one piece of functionality requires much higher scale, make sense for the domain, etc) it doesn't make sense to split things into independent services.



It's a lesson for me, to have ability to maintain system in long term.

The cost with refactoring big legacy system is too high, to the impossible.
