I work on a monolith and deploy 20+ times per day to production, sometimes 100+ times depending on the day. weird that you’d say benefit of microservices is that you can do 5 deployments daily to production, that would not make my top-100 list to use them

From the way you state it, it sounds like you have sole control and discretion over the deployments. Which is kind of exactly the point.

Suppose there was another person also with top level responsibilty telling you not to do that? It might be fine for your code, but they don't want their code doing that. My guess is 5 minutes later you'd have started a project to carve your code out from theirs so you could deploy it independently.

how many developers work on your monolith?
