>We have more than 500 microservices at Tinder

Why? How?

But, parody aside, I'm with you: there must be one for every route in their API, and then another 250 for doing schema validation. I was being funny when I wrote that, but in the far left of their diagram is a circle named "apimeta"


Iassume they have 500 teams working at tinder, each with their own dev, qa, lead, and operations.

That’s 2000 headcount right there.
