How about deployment speed? If I’ve got a microservice collecting events off a queue and writing a csv out to S3 on a schedule, it’s really nice to be able to add a column and deploy in minutes without having to rebuild and deploy a giant monolith. It also allows for fine grained permissions: that service can only read from that specific queue and write to that specific bucket.
People throw around “distributed monolith” like it’s a dirty phrase but I’ve found it actually a very pleasant environment to work in.
