Overall Codebase size vs context matter less when you set it up as microservices style architecture from the starts.

It'll be fun if the primary benefit of microservices turns out to be that LLMs can understand the codebase.

That was the whole point for humans, too.

		Except it doesn't work the same way it won't work for LLMs. If you use too many microserviced, you will get global state, race conditions, much more complex failure models again and no human/LLM can effectively reason about those. We somewhat have tools to do that in case of monoliths, but if one gets to this point with microservices, it's game over.
