@stilkov "But in all, I’d probably end up with a dozen, maybe twenty or thirty services". Wow. Deserves clear "when and when not"?

@UncleGene Not sure what you’re asking for. More detail on when it’s a dozen and when it’s twenty or thirty?

@stilkov when it is 12-30 vs 1-3

@unclegene I see. IMO, it’s 1 if you don’t have much reason for independent parallel development, separate release cycles, separate scaling

@unclegene If you decide to split, I find it’s impossible to argue in the abstract about whether it should be 3 or 30 (i.e., it depends)

Replying to @stilkov
@stilkov In abstract - no, but in reality (for mail example) - if you are fine with overhead of 30 svcs, you probably do not need even 3:)
