Keeping track is one thing. Actually _running_ the Lernaean Hydra of an application in production is a whole another story. The amount of "housekeeping" you have to do to keep the thing afloat is astounding: cascading failures, distributing tracing, logging and diagnostics, metrics. Even operational side of things require a lot of attention. Presumably, each microservice would require at least a minimal level of admin-level tooling around it.
