I'm curious to see how micro service management evolves over time and learn whether or not it will become viable for small companies. Hopefully one day its as cheap as writing a function is.

As it stands, with what I've seen and heard about microservices, I'd say the best way to deal with micro service anything is to use a monolith 90% of the time and for the rest of the time make sure your micro service could stand as it's own SAAS if given enough love.

Not a direct solution to your problem but might be an indirect one.
