Why this is getting blamed on JavaScript / Node.js is beyond me. Microservices were/are all the rage in Java/Scala land, and seemed to initially be pushed by (Dev)Ops engineers' desire to roll their own Kubernetes cluster (or whatever came before). I've been on multiple such project and I always loathed the additional complexity (especially combined with actors/event sourcing and Cassandra). Node.js was limited to some frontend tooling that only ran locally or in CI.
