Let's talk about microservice architecture. Recently, was there more support or development?

In a microservices architecture, as the system matures and the number of services increases, there is usually a shift in focus from developing new features to maintaining and supporting existing services.

Reasons:

• Increase in the number of services: the more microservices, the more points of failure and integrations that require monitoring and support.
• Integration complexity: supporting interactions between services requires effort.
• Updates and bug fixes: maintaining security, fixing errors, and optimization.

Thus, in the later stages of a project, the share of support often exceeds the share of developing new features. This is a natural cycle when the system stabilizes and requires ongoing maintenance.
