We discussed lot about Microservices and why they are so good. Sometimes you should not use the Microservcies architecture. Microservices are not one-size fit-all solution. Designing every system as a Microservices system is a mistake which can lead to a lot of problems. There are cases where they should not be used. Even if we used, they might even cause damage and lead to failures.

Therefore use of Microservices should be evaluated on a case by case basis.
