That‘s literally an example of the decision depending on multiple factors. Separation of concerns -> more isolation -> stronger security of the overall system is exactly one of the possible benefits of microservices. Scale is just one

Lol, the entitlement. Nobody owes you a job, or their time for that matter. And websites are not at all randomly designed. They share common concepts and design language. Buttons, dropdowns, hamburger menus, icons etc. Just like a CV is typ

When has that ever worked? And why does this count as a solution rather than a poor workaround for you?
