I think AWS X-Ray deserves to be mentioned here - it tracks requests through different services using tagging and provides visualization. AWS also has other useful tools like SNS and SQS for building loosely coupled microservice systems.
In the AWS case microservices are combined with other paradigms like Serverless and event driven computing. I would judge all these together and consider the overall benefits you gain from fully managed services, built-in autoscaling, independent parallel development and deployment of microservices, etc. Personally I would not go back to the old ways.
