Why SaaS Companies Are Moving Away from Microservices

The microservices hype is fading as companies realize the operational complexity often outweighs the benefits. Here's why monoliths are making a comeback

Why SaaS Companies Are Moving Away from Microservices

Amazon Prime Video made headlines by consolidating their microservices into a monolith and reducing costs by 90%. They're not alone—a growing number of SaaS companies are questioning the microservices-first approach.

The Microservices Promise vs Reality

Five years ago, microservices were the silver bullet for scalability. The promise was compelling:

  • Independent deployments
  • Technology diversity
  • Better fault isolation
  • Easier scaling

Reality check: Most teams got the complexity without the benefits.

Why Companies Are Reversing Course

  1. Operational Overhead
    Managing 50+ services requires dedicated DevOps teams, sophisticated monitoring, and complex deployment pipelines.
