I've seen a startup with 10 devs + 60+ microservices and growing.

The team was stuck in a mindset that they just hadn't split things up enough to arrive at nirvana.

Been there before - I worked at a company where some geniuses thought that microservices would solve all of our scaling issues. We ended up with four microservices just to send an email (one to template, one to send, one to persist to database and one other which I can't remember now).
