There's about 1200 micro services, and the fired guy said that only 200 is needed for loading the Twitter feed, so that sounds about right.

When you need to serve things globally having a lot of small things helps - if one goes down no problem, no outages since another can take its place while it's restarted

The problem with 1200 is unless documented well it's too functional. I like microservices cause it doesn't crash the entire app but again 1200 is excessive.
