Argues that decentralized governance lets teams pick languages and the right datastores — even Clojure or specialized NoSQL stores — so services fit business needs, but that leads to polyglot persistence and many build/deploy pipelines, hiring challenges and unexpected operational costs. Claims observability becomes critical: per-service health, distributed transactions and latency require distributed tracing and centralized log aggregation. Conclusion: microservices buy tech fit and autonomy at the price of much greater monitoring, debugging and coordination effort.
