You know what's worse than microservices?

What I've dubbed "nanoservices". Basically, a service that hosts a single function. At a previous role I had, the dev team decided that account registration, login, and password recovery each needed to be a separate microservice.

When they first described it to me, I thought they meant that maybe each was a separate AWS Lambda function behind a single API gateway or something, but no...each was in its own repo, and each was a separate container deployed into Kubernetes.

I can't imagine the amount of overhead creates to manage that.
