Microservices aren't particularly hard to build, but they are brittle as hell.

The serialization/deserialization layer adds potential for bugs. The massively increased number of services all need constant monitoring. The massively multiplied error conditions (what happens when service 37 talks to 39 and 39 times out?) need to be accounted for and those edge cases must be ironed out.

There would be nothing particularly wrong with doing all of this if you gained something great by doing it, but you don't. You get fuck all except migraines caused by the brittleness of your app.
