This isn’t uncommon. Most teams experience a honeymoon period with microservices where testing feels manageable, even elegant. Then something shifts. What was once a competitive advantage becomes a drag on velocity. The question is: Why does microservices testing difficulty seem to grow exponentially, rather…
