Single responsibility

Every microservice should have responsibility over a single part of the functionality provided by the application, and that responsibility should be entirely encapsulated by the microservice. The design of the microservice should be narrowly aligned with that responsibility.

If we realize that when we need to change a business function within our application, it modifies several microservices, or that a change cascades into non-related microservices, it is time that we reconsider how we design them.

This does not mean that we get to make microservices that do only one operation. Probably it is a good idea to have a microservice that handles the customer operations, like create, find, delete, but probably shouldn't handle operations like adding offers to a customer.
